Designer Spotlight: Valentino – Julia Berolzheimer

Valentino is one of those designers I consistently return to because the pieces bring so much personality into my wardrobe. The craftsmanship stands out immediately with embroidered textiles, jacquards, lace, and intricate embellishment that add depth and dimension. Each style feels distinctive, yet timeless enough to wear for years, which is why Valentino is worth the investment.

Looking through the Cruise and Spring 2026 collections, I kept taking screenshots and saving them to my photo folder. So many pieces stood out. Embroidered jackets, paisley prints, feather accents, and decorative accessories appeared throughout, adding a layered, expressive feel. A few highlights include the paisley set, the striped raffia bucket bag, and the feather-trimmed paisley blouse. The printed set makes a statement worn together, but each piece also styles well on its own.

The small jacquard shoulder bag has been my most worn accessory lately. The tapestry-style pattern adds just enough interest, worn with everything from silk trousers to denim and knit. It’s quickly become one of the bags I reach for all the time.
