For its Spring/Summer 2013 collection, RED VALENTINO imagines a whimsical and innocent dreamer—intuitive, instinctive, both adorable and rebellious. It symbolizes the favorite things of a girl who expresses herself freely. This season's theme is "Journey." With feminine "Saint-Tropez," inspired by resort scenes in Saint-Tropez, the Caribbean, and Hawaii, and vivid "Caribbean Paradise," evoking the scent of the Riviera and the mood of Brazil's Tropicália art movement, the collection presents two distinct facets, much like a capricious girl.

Items themed "Saint-Tropez" will be released in all stores starting Wednesday, March 27th, and items themed "Caribbean Paradise" from Wednesday, April 10th. In advance, the Aoyama boutique will feature exclusive and early release items representing iconic looks from each month in March and April. Mid-March will see the early release of a dress in off-white nylon with a立体 (three-dimensional) daisy print, themed "Saint-Tropez." From early April, a dress with a cobalt blue base, vibrant graphical stripes, and tropical floral prints, themed "Caribbean Paradise," will be available exclusively.
