Valentino’s The Pre-Fall 2026 campaign feels like stepping into a dream you almost remember. Conceived by creative director Alessandro Michele and filmed by Johnny Dufort, the story transforms fashion into a moving memory, where the familiar suddenly looks strange and new.
Set inside Cy Twombly’s palazzo in Bassano, Italy, the campaign combines art, history and emotion. Model Apolline Rocco Fohrer roams the space like a ghost of glamour, bringing a restless energy to every frame.
Valentino Pre-Fall 2026 Campaign
Styled by Jonathan Kay, the look combines drama with romance and a little danger. There’s a sweeping red gown with a high slit, a sheer purple lace top with a bold red bag and a rich blue satin dress that glows in the pale stone rooms.
Another standout is the sharp leather jacket layered over a delicate lace-trimmed slip, while glittering sequins and printed shoes add more surprise. The images appear windswept and slightly haunted. Antique sculptures, faded interiors and strong accessories bring each look to life.
