Pink is a destined color that many girls love, but when pink becomes rich and highly saturated, it becomes the “death Barbie pink” that everyone avoids. However, this difficult-to-control fluorescent pink was lit up by Valentino at the 2022 autumn/winter Paris Fashion Week. How did the death Barbie pink reverse its fate in the hands of Pierpaolo Piccioli? Let’s find out together!
Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli brings a monochromatic world to Valentino FW22, enlisting color authority Pantone to develop an exclusive pink for Valentino, creating the Valentino Pink PP Collection. This rich and eye-catching single color interpretation of fashion design showcases endless possibilities, highlighting the designer’s profound design skills without the assistance of color matching.
In addition to clothing and accessories, think pink and go pink, bring makeup into the fantasy angle of peach pink. The makeup artist skillfully avoids the death trap of Barbie pink lips, instead using high-color peach pink eyeshadow on a nude makeup base. To balance the overall look, the base makeup, eyebrow makeup, eyelash makeup, and lip makeup are all toned down, with the focus on the eye makeup. In addition to the exaggerated colors, the contours of the eyeshadow are quite unconventional, aiming to give the feminine taste of pink a more edgy and avant-garde feel.
Pierpaolo Piccioli tells us through the Valentino FW22 collection that there is no need to define colors. Even a single color can present unexpected surprises in different ways in different locations. After witnessing this experimental show, you will completely change your view on Barbie pink.
