V-Neck Sequin-Embellished Tweed Gilet

Selfridges Says: Valentino Garavani was first struck by the fashion fever on a trip to watch the opera Carmen as a child, bewitched by the show’s gilded gowns and floral arches. So, it’s no surprise the Roman house’s sumptuous collections have a certain theatricality that crescendos like an elaborate composition. Plucked from its latest offering, this gilet is sculpted to a V-neck silhouette traced with glittering sequin trims and crowned with the label’s VLOGO along the pockets for a note of grandeur.
