Enlisting models for a stylish army, Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli embraced a military motif for their spring/summer 2014 collection. Beginning with conservative suits for the civilian in denim hues, the design duo pulled the layers back for a more apparent approach to the season. Utilizing a crisp white t-shirt as the collection’s core essential, other sportswear separates easily came together. The shirt jacket was reinterpreted in light leather while selective color blocking paved the way for experiments with camouflage, furnishing outerwear, suiting separates and more.
