From her Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche jumpsuit to her Céline shirts and Balenciaga coats.
The ’90s – the decade Valletta began modelling – was also the era she began “searching out collectable high-fashion pieces,” inspired by the “cool factor of finding great vintage.” For her, there’s beauty in the memories that second-hand clothes embody. “They hold someone’s memories and dreams, they are unique and one of a kind. As I wear my vintage pieces and create new memories in them, I extend the life of the garment and its valuable journey.
In celebration of Second-Hand September, Valletta reveals her favourite vintage wardrobe pieces, modelled as she travels from her home to Milan and Paris for the spring/summer 2023 collections.“I love this red mohair Balenciaga coat! It looks like it’s late ’60s, but I’m not sure of its exact time of creation. I found it recently in Paris at a pop-up called VINTAGE from this seller
. This coat is super chic and can be worn so many different ways. You can dress it up and make it a coat dress or just wear it casually with leggings.”“I had to have this Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche leopard jumpsuit when I saw it! I love a jumpsuit because they are fun and comfortable. This one is crazy cool as leopard is a print that never goes out of style.
“I am a big fan of suits and an even bigger fan of a men’s suit refurbished to fit me! This Havre Studio suit has been in my closet a few years now and I have worn it at least 40 times. I love it because it is literally a second-hand men’s suit Havre Studio reconstructed to make it wearable today. It looks a little like David Bowie from the ’80s – one of my style icons!”
