There's a deeper concept behind Alessandra Facchinetti's first Valentino ad campaign than just a pretty picture. Shot by Peter Lindbergh in Paris, the fall images embody the designer's vision for the fashion house.
Eager for a clean break, Facchinetti opted for what she calls a "groupage," or several images conceived to run together in multiples of two, from a minimum of four to a total of eight. The idea is to tell a story and to better display the world of Valentino, from men's and women's wear to eyewear and accessories.
The grouping includes a mix of studio and location shots, in both color and black-and-white.
