The world of artist emilio_villalba collides with the aesthetic of the Maison on hand-painted, one-of-a-kind Valentino Garavani #VSLING bags. Each bag comes with a signed and numbered lithograph by the artist, and can be preordered at Miami’s Design District Boutique starting from today.⁣
⁣
To introduce the project, Colby Mugrabi of minniemuse explains how the two visions have come together: ⁣
-Gertrude Stein once said, “A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears,” denoting the importance of an artist’s vision on maintaining a connection to the times in which they live. ⁣
⁣
Visual artist Emilio Villalba explores this philosophy through his work, akin to the manners in which Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli does so each season. Both Emilio and Pierpaolo maintain a unique pulse on contemporary culture that informs their respective creative output. This likeminded process has given rise to a collaboration between the two. Hand picked by Pierpaolo, Emilio Villalba has customized ten Valentino Garavani VSLING handbags, employing the brand’s trademark accessory as a unique canvas on which to imbue his artistic vision. ⁣
