Valentino stands out as a beacon of elegance in our modern world. Upon completing his formal training at the École des Beaux-Arts, founding designer Valentino Garavani returned to Italy’s capital to launch his eponymous label in 1959 and was soon dressing Hollywood’s most glamorous women. Creating exquisite ready-to-wear collections, one-of-a-kind haute couture pieces and an ever-coveted line of accessories for over half a century, the Italian powerhouse continues to focus on artisanal design, exquisite craftsmanship and bespoke individuality under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli. Reviving classic silhouettes with feminine prints and introducing the now iconic Rockstud embellishment across heels, sneakers, totes, crossbody bags and more, every design offers of-the-moment style while remaining faithful to Valentino's storied heritage.

Dispelling the notion that edge and elegance are mutually exclusive, the Valentino Garavani Rockstud is almost as iconic as Mr Valentino himself. Making their debut in Autumn/Winter 2010 on those caged slingbacks, the galvanized metal studs now sweep the full shoe and accessories spectrum and are a truly worthy addition to the fashion lexicon. What else can promise to pack both polish and punch?
Though courted by Hollywood and the fashion press alike, Pierpaolo Piccioli is far from the showman one might expect. Private, modest and grounded, the creative director of Valentino eschews the spotlight; instead, he lets his craft speak for itself. Couture techniques infuse each and every Valentino runway – charged by Piccioli’s personal and political commitment to positive change.
Such is the mastery of Pierpaolo Piccioli that even the most discerning fashion editor would struggle to delineate Valentino ready-to-wear from haute couture. Hallowed techniques and a lightness of touch, previously reserved for an elite few, are now par for the course under Piccioli’s direction – which sees couture democratised, one stitch at a time.
Shop WomenswearPierpaolo Piccioli knows the power of collaboration. The designer shared his helm at Valentino with Maria Grazia Chiuri for eight years, before her departure to Dior in 2016. Today, Piccioli continues to partner with agenda-setting minds via his dynamic menswear offerings. Expect graphic prints, bold motifs, and cult capsules with the likes of Undercover and photographer Izumi Miyazaki.
