Valentino was born in Voghera, Italy in May 1932. Valentino's childhood interests in fashion, painting and architecture coupled with an immense talent for drawing, prompted Valentino to study fashion design and French
Moving to Paris to study fashion while still in his teens Valentino also took up dance lessons and developed a love of French theatre. While still a student Valentino was awarded a prestigious prize for fashion design by the International Wool Secretariat. This award led to Valentino being noticed by couturier Jean Desses at whose fashion house Valentino took up his first design job in 1950
Emerging as one of the leading couturiers of the Sixties despite the fact that his premises were in Rome, not Paris, Valentino's unique designs were widely admired. Valentino drew particular praise for his full-length skirts. Success spawned a boutique in Paris and the launch of the now-famous 'V' label. In 1967 Valentino won the coveted Neiman Marcus Prize and in 1970 Valentino launched his first ready-to-wear line with boutiques following in Rome and New York
For over forty years Valentino Garavani, known to all simply as Valentino has been one of the most famous names in fashion creating some of the world's most stylish eveningwear and classic designs
In 1998, Valentino and his business partner Giancarlo Giammetti sold their fashion empire for £211 million
