MEN'S FALL-WINTER
2023/2024 COLLECTION

Paris Fashion Week

17 - 22 JANUARY 2023

His art of making is an art of living. Pierre-François Valette loves materials and lines. His designs exacerbates cool, audacity and fluidity. The cuts of are both clean and supple, with a precession on prints, volumes and finishes. His fashion is contemporary and dresses the beings of today: linking antagonisms and occasionally extremes. It's alive.

A graduate of the Chambre Syndicale, and a former studio employee at Isabel Marant and Saint Laurent, he founded Valette Studio in 2020. In just a few remarkable seasons, he has defined a «casual couture» aesthetic for men and women, willingly gender neutral, spiced with offbeat touches but also with influences from countercultures and even the street. At Valette Studio, suits have the comfort of tracksuits. The colors, patterns, details and vo- lumes emerge in unexpected ways. Details catch the eye. An accessory (tie, closure, stitching) gives a delicate and highly polished look. Designed for the generation that will take over the world, is over-informed, and in constant mutation.

His fashion offers a new light on contemporary elegance. It goes from the uniform to the suit. It vibrates. Totem figures appear. Here and there are references to art and literature. An image of Françoise Sagan, a flower inspired by Andy Warhol's serigraphs, the attitude derived from David Bowie, and a rage borrowed by current artists. If Valette Studio proposes a sparkling and rigorous ready-to-wear, it's thanks to a precise glance and hand, an attentive selection of materials, but also a collective operation in group. It evokes the fashion house and the creative utopia. The workmanship is precise and shared. The garment brings life to an attitude and a dialogue. A fashion that aspires great freedom.
