Valentino Product Launch

Marketing

“Avant les Débuts” was more than just a campaign; it was Valentino’s strategic curtain-raiser for the new creative director’s debut collection, Pavillon des Folies.

To amplify its global impact, a curated selection of hero products, including the 9TO5 bag, the BAY BY BAY line, and Strong Chunky Geometric Sunglasses, have been strategically chosen for dedicated worldwide marketing activations.

THE CHALLENGE

Our challenge was to create the essential digital touchpoint for this global product launch: a series of 3D landing pages, where the selected products held central prominence. The core task was to design and develop highly modular components that could not only enrich the storytelling and elevate the perceived value of each product, but also clearly communicate their specific characteristics.

A key complexity was the requirement for personalization: each landing page needed to host a different 3D model, and various interactive elements had to be adaptable. For instance, sometimes product galleries were absent, other times virtual try-on or AR features were required, and conversion points varied from directing users to Valentino’s virtual boutiques to E-commerce landing pages.

APPROACH

Our process began with intensive brainstorming to uncover creative solutions, ultimately leading us to opt for a scroll-telling 3D experience, developed with Three.js. To ensure economic sustainability we intentionally avoid a traditional CMS and focused on crafting a robust system of modular components, that could be flexibly combined or omitted for each specific product landing page, allowing for tailored experiences. 

For each product, collaborating with Valentino Digital Teams, we’ve collected supportive content and 3D models to then crafted the UI Design and prototyped its unique movement and interaction along the page. 

RESULT

We achieved extensive customizability across all elements: texts, media, textures, links, and buttons could be dynamically altered to meet diverse campaign needs. 

This strategic approach proved highly successful in fostering agility, enabling landing pages to be easily duplicated and modified for varied applications such as one-to-one presentations, driving boutique traffic, integration into Valentino’s consumer app for e-commerce, or adapting content (like hiding specific textures) for regional requirements.

They provides innovative strategies for the private sector to develop meaningful and sustainable initiatives, enabling faster growth and amplifying their global impact. Their focus on impactful programs helps companies achieve robust growth and contribute to a more peaceful world through their business practices.

THE CHALLENGE

Trending Peace Index came to us with a clear objective: they needed a partner who could translate the core concept of their idea into a fully functional and compelling website. Their vision for Trending Peace Index was robust, but the challenge lay in transforming this innovative idea into an engaging digital experience.

Our primary challenge was to build the entire storytelling framework for the website completely from scratch. This wasn’t merely about writing copy, it involved a deep dive into the complex world of peace metrics and initiatives. We had to meticulously gather information and data on peace from a diverse array of sources, primarily relying on academic papers, research documents, and official reports.

APPROACH

This intensive research process was crucial. It allowed us to identify the most impactful angles, articulate the nuances of “Positive Peace,” and effectively communicate how Trending Peace empowers businesses.

Ultimately, the goal was to translate intricate data and concepts into a clear, engaging, and persuasive narrative that resonated with our audience and effectively conveyed the value proposition of Trending Peace.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

The creative direction was fundamental in shaping the visual identity and user experience of the website. Our objective was to translate complex peace data and metrics into an intuitive and visually appealing interface.

We aimed for a design that was both professional and reassuring, utilizing a color palette and aesthetics that evoked a sense of calm and trust, aligning with the theme of ‘Positive Peace.’ The challenge lay in making the data not just understandable, but also emotionally engaging, ensuring that the visual narrative guided the user through the site, highlighting the impact and value of Trending Peace for businesses and society.

Anatomy of Dreams

Valentino’s “Anatomy of Dreams” is a collection of Haute Couture fragrances, conceived as a sensory journey and inspired by the hedonistic essence of Rome.

Launched in 2024, the collection is made of the seven unique scents, crafted by expert perfumers, evoking memories of Italian heritage and contemporary style. All fragrances are housed in iconic glass bottles and secured within the Valentino Garavani Perfume Case.

THE CHALLENGE

Our challenge was to bridge a crucial gap in the luxury retail experience. While fragrances have been worldwide distributed across Valentino Boutiques, only few accompany cases have been crafted. As a consequence Client Advisors struggled to showcase the complete haute couture collection potential to customer, impacting sales expectations.

That’s why we conceived an immersive digital solution that would not only overcome this physical limitation but also empower in-store assistants to effectively communicate the collection’s true value, allowing customers to fully visualize and engage with these luxurious perfumes and cases and their rich concept behind.

APPROACH & RESULT

We designed and developed a multilingual web application using Three.js, delivering a high-performance experience while enhancing delicate details of the products showcased. UI elements animations and camera’s movements, as well as the integrated soundscape, reflects the softness central to Anatomy of Dreams. Integrated within the boutique selling ceremony, it guides users through an engaging narrative. 

After a primarly guided exploration of the perfume case’s external features and materials, clients can virtually open the case to reveal its interior, before diving into the unique stories and essences of each individual fragrance. This digital solution proved versatile, not only allowing clients already interested in the collection to visualize the full range of products and their conceptual depth, but also serving as an effective tool to introduce Valentino’s beauty universe during one-to-one remote activities.

During this special day, when couples and loved ones take this opportunity to celebrate their bonds, making it a day filled with joy, warmth, and the spirit of love, Valentino wants to celebrate client's affection by sending them a digital gift.

THE CHALLENGE

Client’s request was to design and develop a digital experience dedicated to top clients to make them explore a selection of products.

We started exploring few concepts and pitched them to Valentino Digital and Brand Teams. 

The select concept celebrates the art of courtship. Valentino gifted customers with a box of chocolates accompanied by a love note. The chocolates were crafted in 3D, with each piece representing a specific product that the brand aims to promote.

APPROACH & RESULT

We took care of the User Interface and then of the Dev phase, managing two different domains to create a tailored experience for users belonging to a Chinese boutique and for those in the rest of the world, each showcasing diverse products.

The love letter welcomes the user, who selects their gender and then views the 3D gift. By tapping on a chocolate shaped to resemble Valentino’s iconic Stud, clients can savor a different mood of love and discover the corresponding product.

This web app successfully supported the sales department in stimulating top clients worldwide to make purchases.

As happens every year, also in 2023 by the end of November, Valentino unveiled The Party Collection, enchanting fashion enthusiasts across the globe.

THE CHALLENGE

Valentino’s Digital Team asked us to develop a digital catalog for their 2023 Party Collection, showcasing handpicked items photographed at the prestigious Place Vendome Palace in Paris. The aim of this initiative was to captivate clients’ interest and guide them towards a personalized shopping experience with boutique advisors.

To give even more strength to the concept and a modern and digital treatment to the letters, we used a shade of vibrant pink degrading to electrical blue that illuminates the tip of the letter and resembles the typical loading spinners effect.

RESULTS

We managed to give EssilorLuxottica a distinctive digital branding identity, even though it’s a brand that has to accommodate many others.

We struck an ideal balance between design and identity, ensuring it doesn’t overshadow the other brands while also not getting lost among them.
At the same time, the goal was to corporately represent the brand while offering an international scope.

2024

Forte Architetti is an internationally-acclaimed architectural firm, comprising architects, landscape designers, engineers, and interior designers.

The firm handles a wide range of projects, from urban planning to landscaping, residential to commercial buildings, and interior to furniture design. They employ strategic design thinking for both small and large-scale projects, offering feasibility studies, full architectural and planning services, site management, supervision, and various problem-solving techniques.

THE CHALLENGE

The client expressed a desire to conduct a comprehensive review of their website with the aim of enhancing communication regarding their projects and their presence in various countries. Specifically, the client tasked us with targeting South African and Nigerian high net worth individuals, given that these two countries are the most significant in terms of the client’s revenue and opportunities.

We developed a benchmark by studying U.S. luxury real estate communication methods as a model for our target countries. We incorporated Italian design aesthetics to engage our audience and compete with international design studios. Our research revealed a key insight: architectural firms often communicate internally, neglecting their intended audience, which hinders effective client engagement and issue resolution.

DESIGN direction

Based on the insights gained by our research, we adopted a customer-centric strategy, aiming to vividly narrate the stories behind the studio’s projects and how they meet clients’ needs and aspirations. We introduced a fresh creative concept called “Behind the House,” a creative concept spotlighting clients and all aspects of the projects – an approach that’s in stark contrast to the conventional communication style of architectural studios.

Our goal was to connect users with our projects. To achieve this, we adopted an editorial approach that bridges the gap between an interior magazine and an architectural studio, offering users an immersive narrative experience of Forte Architetti’s work.

website

We designed a website that offers a dynamic, engaging user experience, using subtle animations to introduce primary photo-text content. This approach was chosen to create an editorial experience that aligns with the storytelling aspect of the studio’s projects.

Our art direction used cool, dark colors against bright optical white, and a large serif font for headlines, mirroring the aesthetic of a luxury architecture magazine. The website showcases the studio’s projects, team, and operational methods, presenting them as a collection of narratives that challenge the traditional approach of a typical showcase website.
