History

Founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti in Rome, the house gained international prominence after its 1962 debut in Florence. It became a fixture of the mid-century jet-set era, dressing figures like Jacqueline Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. The brand is historically significant for introducing 'Valentino Red' and bridging the gap between Italian craftsmanship and global high fashion. It remains a central pillar of the Parisian haute couture calendar.
