The weight of a first word — especially when handed the mic on fashion’s biggest stage — can shape how one is remembered. (Above: Michieda Shunsuke with the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar bag)
For Alessandro Michele at Valentino, that word comes in the form of his Spring 2025 collection, Avant Les Débuts, where the Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar bag makes its debut. With its remixed house codes and Michele’s unmistakable nostalgia for Boho-chic style, a first look at the firstly-launched bag under his direction asserts that this is the look of the new Valentino.
And this new Valentino is getting its fair share of love from some of the biggest superstars of today. A-Listers have all taken up the newest leather-line offering from the house and made it their own. From Korean entertainment mainstays like actress and Girls’ Generation member YoonA, plus The Glory actor Park Sunghoon, to Thai film icons like Jeff Satur and Freen Sarocha — who also coincidentally happened to be the maison’s choice pick for its SS25 showing at Paris Fashion Week — browse these celebrities’ superstar looks with the new Valentino Garavani Viva Superstar bag here.
