Let us consider in more detail the history of this brand, popular collections and accessories.
Brand history
The creator of the brand is Italian Valentino Garavani, born in 1932 in the usual family of Catholics. The gift of drawing opened in his early childhood as soon as he learned to confidently hold in the hands of pencils.
The boy liked to invent and create all sorts of images and outfits, and this children's passion caused him a desire to create his clothing line. This is a passion and advocated him to enter the Academy of Arts located in Milan, and later to the Paris Art School.
Unprecedented success Brand, in part, provided the famous Elizabeth Taylor, which one of the first became a client of a young Italian designer. And soon after that, the number of excellent clients was replenished with the princess Margaret and even Jacqueline Kennedy - the first lady of the United States.
The brand, as a holistic unit of world fashion, was formed only when Valentino Garavani honored Giancarlo Giammetti, who became him not only a faithful romantic companion, but also a business partner in the matter of his life.
It was their cooperation that gave a powerful impetus to the formation of the brand and the spread of its popularity around the world. And, after some time, the brand became part of the Multimillion Corporation of Partecipazioni Industriali, the owner of which, on the basis of Glory, Valentino created many companies producing luxury items.
After the show in 2007, which took place in Paris, Valentino Garavanan announced the world about his desire to leave the case of his life and complete the designer's career.
Specific traits
The indisputable characteristic feature of female collections Valentino is femininity and refinement, but the clothing lines are not limited to these characteristics.
At one of the Italian exhibitions held in Rome in 1951, one of the clients of the famous designer - Elizabeth Taylor, was noticed that folds and multi-layered, and in the outlines of some models even traced elements taken from the world of animals.
In addition to the outlines, in the Valentino collections, animalistic mood are really pronounced - embossing, animalistic prints and images of the representatives of the Fauna world themselves are very often used.
As for men's clothes, everything is quite simple here, the main prevailing feature is practicality. The accurate silhouettes, refinement and elegance brings certain similarities with uniforms to men's collections.
Decorative elements adorning both female and men's collections are different unusual seams, pins, metal fragments, and dark colors dominate in the color scheme: black, dark gray, dark blue.
If you briefly describe the characteristic features of this brand, you can note in one phrase - "the desire for ideal."
Collections
Among the collections Valentino has many unusual ideas and ideas, but some deserve particularly close attention.
For example, a red collection, whose creation Valentino inspired a journey through Barcelona. It was the first formed collection of a young designer and wore the name Gotha. The line consisted completely of twenty red dresses, as the designer believed that the red shade was able to decorate any woman.
"Colorless" collection, characterized by the predominance of white in creating models. The clothing line received such a name due to the statements of critics, which dubbed it colorless due to the predominance of bright and unusual shades characteristic of the period of that time.
The collection designated as V means Valentino, became a saving circle for the brand, because after the release of Gotha he threatened the ruin and collapse. It was during this period that Valentino met his business partner who inspired him to create a new line with his own logo.
In addition, many collections of wedding dresses were created, and even the special linen lines created jointly with the Warnaco brand.
And in 2003, especially for the younger generation, Valentino created the Red Valentino line, distinguished by lighter and relaxed fittings and more democratic cost, compared to other collections.

Dresses from the famous designer - something magical. Each girl, at least once analyzing the product from any collection, felt like a princess found in a beautiful fairy tale.
Evening dresses in their performance resemble something air, elevated or even cosmic. It's all about the crop, which is a fitting upper part and a lush, air skirt.
The collection of evening dresses with long sleeves made from translucent, delicate mesh fabric is a real work of arts. The skirt is decorated with ornament embroidered with decorative threads or laid out precious stones of different sizes.
In general, about the lines of evening outfits, it should be noted that predominantly the models are presented in the form of maxi length and most of them have a long sleeve. Some of them have a fairly frank appearance, and some, on the contrary, look more restrained and chaste.
A business card of the brand is a red dress, because of the very first collection of Valentino. Models of dresses of this shade can have a different cut and style, different length and width of the skirt part, as well as a huge variety of fabric variations.

Sports line - sneakers and sneakers have a fairly discreet design and almost identical form. A feature can be called the coloring of products, prints and decorative elements. And on the tongue of each of them there is a print with the brand logo.
Separately, I want to highlight shoes, because some of them are presented in a particularly elegant version - in the form of an open toe model and a beautifully decorated heel, and some have a fairly simple, everyday view.
But the very popular and common right is the model ships ships. Decorative spikes are located on double T-shaped straps, which are fixed on the closure in the ankle area. These shoes have a sharp sock and heel stud, the length of which is selected according to personal wishes.

How to distinguish the original?
In modern society, the risk of pouring into fraudsters is quite high, and instead of a high-quality genuine product to acquire a fake. That is why the brand features should be studied in detail, as well as some lifehaki, which will help you easily recognize a cheap copy.
If the purchase takes place through the online store, it makes sense to pay attention to the contact details. The company providing original products is usually located directly in Italy or directly cooperates with the Italian factories of the well-known brand, which must be displayed in information.
How to distinguish the fake, keeping the thing in the hands? There are three pretty simple steps that will help to deal with the authenticity of the product:
- The first and basic rule - the original thing is impossible to purchase at low cost from the hands. Real brand things are sold only in uniform boutiques. In such cases, authenticity does not have to doubt;
- All Valentino products have the appropriate certificate that you have the right to request when buying a product. If there is no one, most likely, before you fake;
- It is worth carefully considering the product logo and compare it with birrors attached to the originals (their photos can be easily found on the Internet). In order to avoid litigation due to plagiarism, fakes are always distinguished by tag or have invisible, at first glance, differences in design.
Brand things, including Valentino, are involved in the huge number of exhibitions and shows, which should also be displayed in the product description. Doubts may arise if there are only CIS countries in the list of countries.
In the lists of boutiques that provide this product in the mode of Offline must be points in different countries of the world, since Valentino is a brand with world-famous name and popularity.
