Valentino guests brought books to Paris spring 2027 show
Valentino designer Alessandro Michele asked attendees at the Paris spring 2027 fashion show to bring a book for donation.
Invitation included reading request
A small green card inside the invitation instructed guests to bring new or personal library volumes. The designer specified that these collected books would be donated to local libraries after the event.
Collection titled Antibiblioteca
The gathered volumes were presented under the title Antibiblioteca: Catalogue of the Unread. This project turned the front row into a reading list for the audience.
Imaginary books provided clues
A printed compendium of imaginary-sounding books accompanied the invite to provide context. These titles offered a clue to the thinking behind the show.
