Valentino

Valentino Garavani, at 15 years old, embarked on a journey to Paris, eager to delve into the world of fashion, leading to the establishment of his eponymous fashion empire. In 1962, a pivotal moment arrived when Garavani brought Giancarlo Giammetti on board as Managing Director, enabling Valentino to focus on his creative vision of haute couture. Valentino's success stems from its innovative approach, evident in the launch of a ready-to-wear collection in 1969, a men's line in 1972, and the brand's inaugural women's fragrance in 1977. Each year sees the introduction of new collections, keeping Valentino at the forefront of the industry and ensuring its global prominence. While iconic women's fragrances like "Voce Viva," "Donna," and "Born in Roma" capture attention, "Uomo" appeals to men. Beyond fragrances and fashion, Valentino's portfolio extends to handbags, footwear, jewelry, accessories, and even pet accessories like collars and tote bags. Since 2005, Valentino has been part of the Valentino Fashion Group, under the ownership of Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamīm bin Hamad ath-Thānī, further solidifying its status as a luxury brand synonymous with sophistication and style.
