Store finder
No one understands red quite like Valentino. In a sweeping celebration and exploration
of the Italian Maison’s relationship with the color, Rosso Valentino mines more than
fifty years of one of fashion’s most meticulously preserved archives for a definitive
catalogue raisonné featuring over 180 of Maison Valentino’s most iconic dresses and
accessories, from legendary silk ball gowns and haute couture chiffon creations to
nappa calfskin “Rockstud” slingbacks and VLogo Signature buckle belts with antique
brass finishes.
Spanning the eras of Valentino Garavani to the current creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the title illustrates Valentino’s unparalleled connection to one of the world’s most passionate, seductive, powerful, and culturally symbolic colors.
