Editor's Notes
The Valentino Garavani Silk Bollicine Plusdepois Shirt is a long-sleeve, tie-neck blouse in ivory white, constructed from 100% silk crepe de chine. The pure silk crepe de chine has a smooth, slightly fluid surface with a natural luminosity and a refined, lightweight hand that gives the shirt a luxurious, considered quality, and the ivory white ground provides a warm, clean base for the all-over Bollicine Plusdepois print.
The Bollicine Plusdepois print is the defining design choice, an all-over polka dot pattern in black with the "Valentino" signature script scattered throughout in red. The combination of the classic black polka dot and the red cursive Valentino signature is a characteristically playful and house-forward print that gives the shirt a bold, graphic identity while retaining the refined, feminine quality of the silk crepe de chine. The tie-neck collar with a long self-tie bow is the defining silhouette detail, a considered, feminine element that frames the neckline with a soft, draped bow that can be tied in multiple ways for different effects. The front button closure, long sleeves with button cuffs, and straight hem provide a clean, classic shirt construction that grounds the print in a familiar, wearable silhouette.
It is a refined, statement-ready silk shirt built around the quality of its pure silk construction and the considered, house-signature identity of Valentino Garavani's Bollicine Plusdepois print.

Why We Love It
This shirt is Valentino Garavani at its most playful and considered. The pure silk crepe de chine has a beautiful, fluid quality that gives the shirt a luxurious hand, and the Bollicine Plusdepois print is a characteristically Valentino combination of the classic and the bold. The red cursive signature against the black polka dot and ivory ground is a print that is immediately recognizable as a Valentino piece, and the self-tie bow collar adds a feminine, editorial quality that elevates the shirt beyond a standard printed blouse.
Style Notes
The ivory and red colorway pairs naturally with black, navy, and tonal ivory looks alike, and the tie-neck bow is worth demonstrating during the fitting as it can be tied in multiple ways for different effects, from a full, voluminous bow to a more relaxed, open knot. The Valentino script print is worth pointing out as a detail that clients who know the brand will recognize and appreciate immediately. Worth presenting alongside tailored black trousers or a pencil skirt for clients building a complete elevated daytime or occasion look.
