Camouflage with iconic Fornasetti illustrations? That’s what you get when these two great Italian houses team up.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative directors of Valentino, have collaborated with the distinctive design firm Fornasetti to produce a this unique collection that goes from interior design, to sunglasses, scarves and furniture.
This mash up of classic Fornasetti illustrations with urban cool camouflage prints, courtesy of Valentino, is inspired by the senses. At its debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art, there were five rooms displaying the pieces, each corresponding to one sense.
