The creative director was inspired by wabi-sabi—a Japanese aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.
The inspiration for the evening was translated into sihouettes that were asymmetrical, ruffles and floral pints on black and red silk.

The designer presented 90 looks, each inspired by the uniquely Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi, whereby flaws and imperfections are regarded as beautiful in their own right.
Designs with pod-like shapes, or loose frills tumbling down the backs of gowns, much like Valentino creations, were a common sight at show.
For the finale, the models swept onto the runway before halting in single file
