Founded in Rome in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, Maison Valentino is one of the most iconic expressions of Italian elegance. Over more than sixty years, it has fused sartorial tradition with a spirit of innovation, creating Haute Couture, prêt-à-porter and accessories collections with a distinctive and refined identity.
From 2016 to 2024, the creative direction was entrusted to Pierpaolo Piccioli, who renewed the Maison’s vision with a contemporary and emotional language, always focused on artisanal excellence. Today, creative direction has passed to Alessandro Michele, who brings a new aesthetic sensibility and a personal interpretation of Valentino’s DNA, blending theatricality and historical references with a cultured and sophisticated elegance.
The Maison continues to redefine the idea of beauty with collections rich in meaning and sartorial precision, designed around the individual and their many identities. An ever-evolving icon, true to its essence yet open to transformation.
