The Spring-Summer 2016 will be showcasing the tribal side of the luxury house Valentino Garavani. As such, a wide collection of accessories will take over the fashion scene with a new and improved outlook, where African crafted details will prevail.

Brace yourselves for studded leather delicacies, ranging from big totes to small chained-bags, along with flat and heeled-sandals, pointed ballerinas and finally rings, bracelets and necklaces. If you’re into tribal designs, odds are this collection will dazzle you. Picture leather bags and totes in all forms and sizes. Now imagine a scene where studded jewels meet African designs and where symbols of nature and animals meet geometric tribal prints; this scene is the perfect representation of Valentino’s SS2016 accessories collection. The shoes highlight the iconic Valentino models, featuring a more tribal look, what with the colored bejeweled adornments instead of the monochrome studs at the seams. 

Even the accessories take on bronze materials, whether they are part of bracelets, rings or necklaces, with a wide fluctuation of ethnic symbols and spirited animal cyphers.

A palette of beige, camel, brown, dark green, red and orange hues goes hand in hand with the most refined of leather, giving the collection a unique and whimsical vintage-y feel.

Valentino is clearly embracing different cultures this spring, and the result is to-die for!
