To mark the official debut of Alessandro Michele’s 2025 Pre-Spring Collection "Avant Les Débuts" in China, Valentino hosted two special events in Beijing. From December 4 to December 18, Valentino opened a limited-time concept store showcasing the 2025 Pre-Spring Collection at Beijing SKP. Additionally, from December 9 to 10, an exclusive music holiday season Live House event was held at Beijing Blue Note.
The design of the Valentino SKP concept store centers around an ivory white color scheme, creating an ambiance reminiscent of the backstage area of a fashion show. The sleek architectural lines and the soft textures of the materials blend harmoniously, while the carefully arranged drapes help redefine the space. Mirror elements reflect the city's vibrant nightlife, adding brightness and a dynamic energy to the space, while the bold colors and craftsmanship of the Pre-Spring Collection are enhanced by the mirrors, contributing to the festive atmosphere.
The concept store features the "Avant Les Débuts" 2025 Pre-Spring Collection, designed by creative director Alessandro Michele, with a selection of holiday season men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, and other accessories. Among the highlights are the new iconic items: the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar bag, the 9to5 bag, and the Nellcôte bag.
From December 9 to 10, the special Live House event at Beijing Blue Note invited a group of musicians to perform wearing the 2025 Pre-Spring Collection. Valentino brand ambassador Li Ronghao, alongside singers HUSH, Wang Ruolin, and Huang Xuan(Yellow), performed their signature works, delivering soulful performances and offering an unforgettable night for the guests.
