Valentino Garavani

Valentino was founded in Rome in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, and it has grown into a global luxury house. The range runs from haute couture and ready-to-wear through to bags, shoes and other accessories, all with a refined, polished look. The brand is known for a vivid red called "Valentino Red".

Today the maison's latest collections are Alessandro Michele's, and the Rockstud Spike is among the pieces on its website. Menswear has its own section of new arrivals. Valentino eyewear is easy to spot too: the V logo sits boldly and elegantly on the temples, on frames made from high-quality acetate and metal.
