Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2026 Campaign is Art in Motion

Valentino’s pre-fall 2026 campaign feels like stepping into a dream you almost remember. Envisioned by creative director Alessandro Michele and shot by Johnny Dufort, the story turns fashion into a moving memory, where the familiar suddenly looks strange and new.

Set inside Cy Twombly’s Palazzo in Bassano in Teverina, the campaign combines art, history, and emotion. Model Apolline Rocco Fohrer moves through the space like a ghost of glamour, bringing a restless energy to every frame.

Valentino Pre-Fall 2026 Campaign

Styled by Jonathan Kaye, the looks mix romance with drama and a little danger. There is a sweeping red gown with a high slit, a sheer violet lace top with a bold red bag, and a rich blue satin dress that glows against the pale stone rooms.

Another standout is the sharp leather jacket layered over a delicate lace-trim slip, while glittering sequins and printed boots add more surprise. The images feel windswept and a little haunted. Ancient sculptures, faded interiors, and strong accessories make each look feel alive.
