VALENTINO
"Romantic punk."
In 1960, Valentino Garavani joined forces with Giancarlo Giammetti to found the eponymous house. Located on Piazza Mignanelli in Rome, the label's workshops use ultramodern industrial techniques while reserving an important place for manual and artisanal work. With their expertise, the workshops also host Bottega Couture, a haute couture school.
It was during the Pitti Uomo in 2012, in Florence, that the men's line was launched. Then in 2008 Valentino Garavani left the artistic direction to the duo Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, who breathed a breath of fresh air and made Valentino a big name in the fashion world. Then after 8 years of collaboration Pierpaolo Piccioli was appointed sole artistic director.
The Valentino selection by Lothaire gives the possibility to express oneself, to be oneself and to rebel by breaking the rules. The urban repertoire is revisited: coats, tracksuit, sweater, short bomber, nylon satchel and white sneakers.
