Valentino's fresh aesthetic under creative director Alessandro Michele is anything but simple—"mad magpie," as The New York Times heralded his maximalist point of view. Take this burgundy jacquard necktie from Michele's surprise 171-look resort collection, styled with tiepins fashioned after women's hair barrettes. The layered richness bends gender norms and embraces a dandyism adored by the designer's fervent fans. Frivolous or not, it's undeniably fabulous.
