Valentino

Valentino Garavani founded his maison in Rome in 1960 with a vision rooted in classical beauty and an exacting sense of form. Known for his sculptural gowns and architectural draping, he brought a softness to couture that never compromised on structure. But beyond the romance of eveningwear, Valentino’s tailoring revealed another dimension—precise, minimal, and refined in its execution. His suits and jackets were crafted with the same attention as his dresses: clean lines, perfect proportions, and a sharp instinct for elegance. Throughout the 1960s and ’70s, his designs balanced drama and discipline with clarity of vision. Whether in silk or wool, each piece reflected his belief that true style lies in construction.
