Valentino started his brilliant and admirable career in the world of fashion in 1950 when he moved to Paris to study fashion design. His classically elegant and feminine designs made women look utterly glamorous. The Italian maestro worked at houses Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Jean Dessus, and Guy Laroche before going back to Rome to set up his business in 1959.
By the mid-1960s, Valentino was a favorite designer of the world’s best-dressed women, including Jacqueline Kennedy. Among his signatures is a particular shade of red known as “Valentino Red.”
In 2013, creative director duo Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli took over the creative helm, breathing a new energy into the brand with their theatrical, whimsical collections, garnering a new founded fame and fan base for the ageing brand.
Current Creative Director: Pierpaolo Piccioli
