Valentino is a Roman couture house founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, known for Rosso Valentino gowns, Rockstud leather goods, VLogo hardware and haute couture. Alessandro Michele has led design since March 2024, layering maximalist vintage prints, ruffles and 1970s tailoring over house codes in large co-ed shows. Qatar's Mayhoola owns 70% and Kering 30%, bought in 2023; in 2025 the partners deferred Kering's full takeover to 2028 and injected roughly €100 million as sales declined.

Does Valentino run big or small?

Valentino varies by piece. Size up one from your usual for tailored jackets, shirts and trousers, but stay with your normal size (or even size down) on jersey and outerwear that is already cut oversized. Shoppers typically report that Valentino's tailored and shirting pieces follow a trim Italian block that runs about a size small, while T-shirts, hoodies and show-driven outerwear are cut intentionally large and boxy, so the right move depends heavily on the category.
