About the brand

Valentino is one of the most prestigious luxury fashion houses in the world, founded in 1960 by Italian designer Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani in Rome. After studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and apprenticing under legendary designers like Balenciaga and Jean Dessès, Garavani returned to Italy and opened his first atelier on Via Condotti with the help of his father and business partner Giancarlo Giammetti. The brand gained international acclaim with its debut couture collection in 1962 at Florence's Pitti Palace, quickly attracting a clientele of aristocrats, movie stars, and royalty including Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Valentino's signature style is defined by timeless elegance, exquisite Italian craftsmanship, and the iconic "Valentino Red" - a vibrant Mediterranean poppy red that has become synonymous with the brand. Known for meticulous attention to detail, luxurious materials like silk and lace, and romantic feminine silhouettes, Valentino represents the epitome of haute couture sophistication and has remained a symbol of refined luxury for over six decades.

What people are saying

The Fashion Spot

Wow. What a redemption from the public toilet flop show and the first underwhelming debut. Probably the first ever show from Lallo that I ever fully liked with beautifully tailored and crafted items that you can wear with pride without looking a clown or a stunt in a Renaissance costume fair event.

Maybe I am an easy girl but OMG it's chicissime !! Goosebumps ! Gorgeous dresses, menswear, immaculate execution, really immaculate.

It's cool. It's very Valentino thrift store with an aggressive, rebellious twist from Alessandro. And oh my god, there was also a [The] Shining vibe.

I have one in mint colour and I love it! It's a beautiful bag. The quality is great and I love Valentino in general.

The Cut

True, quite a few of the looks qualified as theatrical costumes, but I don't mind being bowled over by a costume if it's exquisitely done, if it imparts a feeling.

Who What Wear

Recently, I spotted a beautiful Valentino coat with bow details, and now, I'm on the lookout for something similar but more affordable.

The high point was a draped gold gown with a feathered white collar, evoking myth and Valentino's Roman past... kept the eclectic spirit alive, though without the exuberant force Michele has deployed before.

Vogue Hong Kong

Valentino Garavani is a decorous man, and until his retirement in 2008, the house was associated with a jet-set politesse, high flying but ultimately genteel. Michele is designing in more anxious, anarchic, social mediated times.

The Impression

The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the free-spiritedness with which the looks are styled does feel exciting – but does playing dress-up with archival pieces belong on a Valentino runway in 2025? The collection is not “bad” by any means, but it's also impossible to say it's “good,” because it feels devoid of any statement or point of view whatsoever.

We still have one BIG problem and that's the Accessories. I can't believe the man who turned Gucci into a profit powerhouse ruled by Marmont bags, belts and Princeton mules has not been able to release a decent bag in 1 full year of tenure.

Oct, 2025

The Cut

Now in his second ready-to-wear season with the Roman house, Michele seems plugged up, still uncertain what to do with its pretty aesthetic and vast archive. But one thing appears certain: Valentino doesn't need more theater, it needs clothes you want to wear.

everything looks well made unfortunately they are neither timeless nor modern.
