Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have translated red-carpet favourite Valentino’s ladylike composure into a version of elegance that can stand the test of modernity, infusing a beautiful darkness into the Italian house’s signature red gowns. Instantly recognizable by its signature metallic 'Rockstud' detailing, the house’s shoe and accessories lines carry the brand founder’s full name, Valentino Garavani.
