Valentino Garavani product data

Founded in Rome in 1960 by Valentino Garavani, the Italian Maison de Couture is a landmark of global luxury and haute couture. Garavani, who trained in Paris, established his brand's enduring reputation for opulent, feminine glamour, attracting an elite clientele that included Jacqueline Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. The house is built on several unmistakable codes: the signature 'Valentino Red,' a vibrant hue featured in every collection since 1959; a dedication to exquisite craftsmanship with intricate embroidery and fine materials like lace and silk chiffon; and a romantic, red-carpet-ready aesthetic. Since Garavani's retirement, the house has navigated a new era, most notably under Pierpaolo Piccioli, who modernized its romanticism and introduced the rebellious yet chic Rockstud motif in 2010, which became a global phenomenon.
