Valentino Profiles

Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, best known as Valentino, is an Italian fashion designer and founder of the Valentino SpA brand and company. His main lines include Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma, and R.E.D. Valentino. This profiles page is the anchor of his record in this guide: it sets out the founding and the house's structure of lines, the two facts every other page in this series assumes. Of all the pages in this series, this is the one the others depend on.

The biography searches in the references gather the wider career coverage, the fashion designer definition for Valentino is linked there, and the official Valentino website is linked there as well. The collections, dresses, runway and news pages in this series file the fashion work the founding produced.

The Founder and the Company

A founder's name over a company is a promise about standard, and Valentino SpA was built as exactly that: the brand and company of one Italian designer, carrying his name into every market the house entered. The record filed in this guide follows that structure — the collections page holds the season-by-season view of the clothes, the dresses page files the gowns at the center of the house's reputation, and the runway and fashion week pages follow the presentations where each season is argued in public.

The profiles record itself is deliberately spare, because the house's public identity is carried by the work: luxurious dresses and gowns, finished to the standard the founder's name announces. Readers who want the life in greater depth will find the biography searches in the references kept current by the search engines themselves.

Four Lines, One Name

His main lines include Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma, and R.E.D. Valentino — one name carried at several registers, from the main line through the diffused ranges, so that the house's elegance reaches wardrobes at more than one level while the signature stays legible in each. Line structure is how a couture name becomes a company: the founder's standard at the top, the same design language translated downward line by line.

Read with the collections page, the profile completes its arc: the Italian designer who founded Valentino SpA, the four lines that carry his name, and the dresses that made the name worth carrying. The fall and spring pages file that elegance at both weights of the year, and the news page gathers the continuing coverage of the designer and the house.
