In the freshmen group chat, a student on financial aid posted a photo of a one-of-a-kind Valentino custom couture look from the Spring/Summer 2024 show, the final look of the runway.
A few seconds later, they hastily recalled it:
"Sorry, everyone, wrong chat. I meant to send that to the designer."
The freshmen group chat soon erupted.
"Did I see that right? Was that the one-of-a-kind Valentino couture look that closed the show?"
"The one so many celebrities wanted, but that was bought out by the heiress from the Hong Kong circle?"
"I heard her grandfather gave it to her for her eighteenth birthday. Guess the real divide in life starts in the womb..."
"Insider news: being able to buy that isn't just about having a rich family. You also need to be really close with the brand."
"Oh my god, I'm in the same class as the Hong Kong heiress!"
I read the chat and fell into deep thought.
If the couture look the student on financial aid posted was the only one in the world...
Then what exactly was the Valentino Spring/Summer couture look my grandfather gave me?
