Valentino is a fashion house created by Valentino Garavani. Valentino's childhood interests in fashion, painting and architecture, coupled with an immense talent for drawing, prompted him to study Fashion Design at the Accademia dell Arte in Milan. His success led him to further studies at Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, and it was there Valentino flourished. He moved to Rome in the 60s and started a fashion house, Valentino. His first show, in 1962, was a success, and Valentino was welcomed into the fashion world. In 1967, he premiered a Valentino White Collection, which became famous for the "V" logo. Through the 1970s Valentino spent considerable time in New York City where his presence was embraced by social personalities such as Steve Rubell and art identities such as Andy Warhol. He currently designs menswear and womenswear and has a perfume line that showcases his remarkable nose for an innovative scent.
