Art, architecture, fashion, politics,
philosophy...everything changed during the Renaissance. It was a time of
transition that spanned across centuries and borders, bringing Europe into a
modern era as it left the Gothic and Medieval behind.

With Florentine families like the Medici
family leading the charge in politics, business and the arts, the Renaissance
flourished. Hundreds of years later, their legacy remains for many things,
including acting as patrons for great artists like Botticelli and Bronzino. Revolutionary changes were made during the
Renaissance, so its influence is bound to show up as it did in the Red
Valentino Fall 2017 collection.
