- Alessandro Michele sits down with Imran Amed to reflect on his evolution as a designer, his deep connection to Valentino’s heritage, and the importance of passion and obsession in achieving creative success.
Alessandro Michele’s whimsical, bold vision as creative director of Gucci revitalised the brand, turning it into a cultural juggernaut. Now, he’s attempting to do the same at Valentino, bringing his signature blend of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and artistic risk-taking to reimagine the Roman couture house.
“This place has such a specific story,” he says. That name, Valentino-it’s a real name, with real life, with real love. … There is always Valentino somewhere with me.”
This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Michele to discuss his evolution as a designer, his deep connection to Valentino’s heritage, and the importance of passion and obsession in achieving creative success.

Gucci were foolish to let him go.
Why? :)
Gucci’s origins were leather goods so its fashion was open to interpretation! Valentino however is an established fashion brand with a history! It’ll be interesting to see what he does!
👏👏👏❤
an extraordinary, inspiring, moving conversation with a remarkable artist. Thank you BOF and Imran for this opportunity
Love Allesandro 🏆 Completely blew Gucci out the water, The biggest and best upgrades to a fashion house I have ever seen, Very exciting to see him back and what he will do with Valentino
Can't wait to see his collections for Valentino.
love him but i just hope he doesn't turn valentino into mcdonald's rave hipster
😂🎉😂🎉😂
100%
Why not loser
This is a wonderful spirituality grounded philosophical conversation fit for 2024, with the evolution of the new human. Success exists within, not without. Society projects this in reverse, for those who are scared to look within.
A quote in relation to Alessandro‘s comment on getting in touch with his inner child. Le Guin's quote - “The creative adult is the child who survived.” The child who survived all the heartbreaking conditioning and control is the one who turns into the creative adult. There is still a child inside of every one of us“.
Commercial and business pressure often inhibit freedom, and good on Alessandro for listening to his intuition and heart over intelligent and ego.
Peace and love from Sydney, Australia
I’m sure the Valentino S/S 25 collection will look exactly like how he’s dressed.
I'm so excited to witness the dream Michele is creating for us.
Si capisce subito che lui ci crede davvero di essere "qualcuno",...contento lui che sembra Madonna.
He eventually has been a disaster for Gucci. Insiders have told me he left a total mess behind.
I’ve been obsessed with this man.
Thank you so much!
Example of Cannot be saved character,hair,cap , Gucci sooo Smart to kick out the Past.Thank God
