Valentino is a notable Italian fashion house. It was founded in 1960 by designer Valentino Garavani. Originally a family business, the label was sold to the Italian conglomerate HdP in 1998. However, it was sold again in 2002 to Marzotta Apparel. Since, Valentino’s menswear has become synonymous with the designs of Pierpaolo Piccioli. Formerly a co-creative director with Maria Grazia Chiuri until 2016, Piccioli is known for his extensive work with prints and tailoring.
