Valentino

Roman fashion house, founded by Valentino Garavani, known for dresses in a red of its own.

Valentino Garavani learned fashion in Paris with Jean Dessès and Guy Laroche and opened his house in Rome in 1960 with Giancarlo Giammetti. He dressed Jacqueline Kennedy and film stars.

Valentino red became the house's hallmark, and Valentino left the house in 2008. It has since been led by other creative directors.
