”- Valentino's mini dress was styled with bold red tights and sky-high platforms in the label's Pre-Fall '22 lookbook, really enhancing its retro vibe. It's jacquard-knitted with the house's name in a warm, abstract motif and trimmed with breezy crochet. Metallic threads will make it shimmer softly in the sun and low light alike.”
