Valentino

.

Since its inception in the vibrant heart of Rome in 1960, Maison Valentino, co-founded by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, has epitomized a confluence of craftsmanship, creativity, and uniqueness. As a bastion of Italian haute couture, Valentino continually reinvents the essence of emotional beauty and artisanal excellence, roots that are intertwined with its prestigious legacy.

At the helm of this iconic brand is CEO Jacopo Venturini, who took the reins in June 2020, and recently, the legendary Alessandro Michele ascended as Creative Director in April 2024, heralding a new chapter for the maison. Under their leadership, Valentino not only preserves but dynamically interprets its historic codes, infusing contemporary relevance into its distinguished heritage.

Valentino’s commitment to savoir-faire is evident across its diverse offerings—from the sublime Valentino Haute Couture and the cutting-edge men’s and women’s ready-to-wear lines to the distinguished Valentino Garavani Accessories. Each piece embodies meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the brand’s enduring allure.

Moreover, Valentino’s aesthetic journey is anchored at the storied Ateliers in Piazza Mignanelli, Rome—the pulsating creative core where every collection is conceived. The brand’s global footprint extends to over 265 directly operated boutiques and more than 600 wholesale points across the world, ensuring that Valentino’s vision of beauty and excellence resonates on a global scale.

In its latest ventures, Valentino continues to expand its influence, collaborating with Akoni Group for its sophisticated eyewear line and partnering with L’Oréal for the Valentino Beauty collection, each endeavor enhancing the brand’s luxurious and contemporary appeal. As Valentino strides into the modern era, it remains a beacon of Italian elegance and innovation in the global fashion and luxury landscape.
