Established in 1960 by legendary fashion designer Valentino Garavani and his business partner Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino is today a major player on the fashion scene, continuing to move its legacy forward with the design aesthetic of designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli.
In October 2008, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli were named Valentino Creative Directors, rejuvenating the brand via highly-successful and well-received collections that stayed true to the brand’s legacy of half a century while moving the design aesthetic forward with designs that are at once feminine and contemporary.
Today’s the Valentino woman represents an unconventional idea of femininity and of extreme elegance that becomes a way of being.
A vision that was applauded unanimously by Hollywood stars, socialites and fashion leaders.
