With a history dating back to 1959, Valentino is one of the original couture houses of Italy. Founded by Valentino Garavani, Valentino has become synonymous with red carpet glamour, replicating much of the grandeur that the designer had seen while studying in Paris. Since 2008, the label has been under the creative helm of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, reinvigorating the label with a sense of youthfulness. Valentino's collection of cocktail dresses can be defined by feminine silhouettes in a rich colour palette, detailed with lace embellishments and bold, ruffle details.
