Valentino turns the garden into something darker. This A-line skirt works a dense floral jacquard in burgundy, forest green, chartreuse, and blush, blooms layered over blooms, with the depth of a Dutch master painting. The fabric has weight and texture; this is not a spring skirt. Pier Paolo Piccioli’s Valentino understood that florals could be serious. Wear it with a simple black knit and nothing else competing.
