Creative director Alessandro Michele continues to explore fresh styles and new faces with the Valentino Cruise 26 collection. After a vibrant Spring/Summer 2026 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, Michele embraces travel-inspired themes in the latest campaign, set inside a hotel.
The campaign video is filmed in black and white, offering a series of intimate vignettes starring an ensemble cast. This marks Tate McRae’s debut campaign with Valentino, alongside familiar faces such as Dakota Johnson, Dev Hynes, and Anne Imhof.
Soundtracked by Chopin’s Nocturne in E Flat, the campaign's slow pace highlights the garments gracefully within the hotel’s transitional setting.
Key accessories receive special attention, including the Panthea Shoulder Bag and the D’Orsay Bondie Pump, which play starring roles in the collection.
