Valentino's history stretches back to the era of 'La Dolce Vita', when a young Valentino Garavani opened his first atelier in Rome. Today, with designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli at the helm, the label has lost none of its A-List appeal. The duo's vision of the Valentino woman is still feminine and elegant, but with a tougher, contemporary attitude that speaks to a wide audience of fashion fans. Partner a romantic, floor-sweeping gown with a signature studded bag for the perfect tough-luxe mix.
