January 2021 - REDValentino is pleased to present a new journey into the world of ‘Inspired by’, a realm dedicated to visionary characters that embrace and embody the brand’s values by taking center stage with a unique and tempered narrative.

Gather all your speed, strength, agility and leap as far as possible: getting to know Larissa Iapichino.

The REDValentino community will be hijacked into a story that starts with the unplanned. A sincere portrait of a never-a-dull-moment kind of life. The daily endeavor of a teenage student soon-to-be a Lawyer and the budding life of a professional athlete. Two sides of one tale made of passion and gravity. It’s a beating documentary on striving for breaking boundaries, making new records and seeking to create a new trail. Larissa is the out-of-common protagonist who combines sports and her role in developing a blooming and successful career. She opens to the viewer with simplicity, driving attention on both her mundane and intimate life. Her powerful and romantic presence mingles with the surrounding reality: her house in Florence, her beloved and challenging training fields - her feelings while she is energetically flying in the air.

“I am very happy to be collaborating with REDValentino, a unique and vibrant brand, with an elevated and authentic design, which I believe reflects my style. I really feel that my way of being romantic and at same time a little bit out of the ordinary in my sports and daily life is in line with the brand values. I am still a dreamy teenager with two souls: one as a professional athlete, a second as future student and doctor in Law willing to make things right, hence I can see REDValentino being my partner in delivering the message that dreams can come true with one’s own, original, feminine way ” Larissa.

REDValentino claims for authenticity and unconventionality and strives for spontaneity. Talent and uniqueness stirred with fierce attitude as a way to intend femininity. Inspired by REDValentino is dedicated to all those life challengers who make the difference and create new meanings and perspectives for free and independent souls.
