The house will stage its Fall 2026 collection outside the Paris calendar, returning to Rome under Alessandro Michele
Maison Valentino will present its Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection in Rome on March 12, 2026, stepping outside the official Paris Fashion Week calendar for the season. The show will take place at Palazzo Barberini, located at Via delle Quattro Fontane, 13, in the late afternoon, with the exact timing to be confirmed in the coming days.
The decision underscores the house’s connection to Rome, a city central to Valentino’s identity and history. For Creative Director Alessandro Michele, the return carries symbolic weight, framing the collection within the brand’s origins while reinforcing its cultural and architectural roots.
Valentino confirmed that the move is exceptional and temporary. The house plans to return to the Paris Fashion Week calendar for its subsequent show, positioning the Rome presentation as a singular moment within its broader runway strategy.
