Andrew Knives & Chrissie Abbott for VALENTINO!

We are energized to announce a major collaboration for the Spring 2026 season, pairing Valentino Beauty with H+ Creative visionary artists Andrew Knives and Chrissie Abbott. The iconic fashion house broke with convention for their latest "Born in Roma" campaign, foregoing traditional photography in favor of a cutting-edge virtual gallery concept.

Valentino commissioned a select roster of leading digital creators to reinterpret the famous studded fragrance bottle as dynamic art objects, inviting a fresh dialogue between luxury heritage and the frontiers of digital culture.

Our artists brought two distinct, vibrant worlds to the collection. Andrew Knives applied his signature cinematic, anime-inspired aesthetic to the vessel, rendering it amidst high-gloss florals and starlit skies to evoke a sense of warm ascension. In a striking juxtaposition, Chrissie Abbott delivered a lo-fi, retro-futurist dreamscape, utilizing analog glitch textures, neon collage elements, and mystical planetary symbolism to recontextualize the luxury object.

Together, these works celebrate aesthetic innovation, positioning the fragrance as a symbol of cutting-edge individuality in the digital realm.
