Valentino Gravani

His name is Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, born in Voghera, Lombardy, northern Italy on 11th May 1932. He works with many lines his main lines are Valentino Gravani, R.E.D. Valentino, Valentino Roma, Valentino and he is owner of Valentino SpA company and brand.

He started to take intrest in fashion while he was a little boy. He learnt fashion designing under her aunt and a local designer. He then moved to Paris to quench his thirst more.

His first choice in Paris, was Jacques Fath, then he work with Balenciaga. He found work with Jean Desses where he used to help style icon countess Jacqueline de Ribes sketch her dress ideas. He then joined Guy Laroche for 2 years. At Jean Desses, Valentino sketched furiously, between helping with window dressing and greeting clients for the daily 2:30 pm private showings. Most of his early sketches were lost. At a Rome exhibition in 1991 a smattering went on display and current clients at that time such as Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and Elizabeth Taylor marveled that the DNA of Valentino’s style was already apparent in the layers of white pleats and animal prints.

After five years, Valentino left Jean Desses under a cloud over an incident about prolonging a vacation in Saint-Tropezthat still makes him wriggle uncomfortably today. Rescued by his friend Guy Laroche, he joined his “tiny, tiny” fashion house. After discussions with his parents, he decided to return to Italy and set up in Rome in 1959. Where he started to work by his own name. After that every body know his success story.

  1. This is my very first time that I have visited this page. I found a wide range of interesting information in your site. From the volume of comments on your articles, I guess I am not on your own! keep up the extraordinary work. And yes, there are indeed lakefront cabins (see my review, above). If you can swing the high sale price, they’re totally worth it!
