Macro Ortensia Printed Silk Flared Pants

Valentino has always treated florals as architecture rather than decoration, and the Macro Ortensia — an oversized hydrangea print — is one of its most painterly expressions. On this trouser the print rises from the hem across the calf, front and back, so the flowers seem to climb the leg rather than cover it.

100% silk crepe with a smooth, lightweight drape and a soft, airy hand. A clean high-rise waistband closes at the front with a concealed fastening, soft pleating runs through the leg for movement, and the full-length flared cut elongates the frame. Made in Italy.

It is a statement piece that behaves like an easy one — effortless in silk, feminine in shape and striking in motion. With a plain knit or a silk blouse it carries the whole look; the print does everything, and the cut makes sure it does it gracefully. Size IT 40 / US 4.
