Valentino Garavani: The Last Great Couturier

Valentino Garavani's career in fashion was based on stability rather than constant renewal. From the founding of his house in Rome in 1960, his work was distinguished by the precision of the line, the impeccable construction and a controlled sense of luxury. His international recognition came in 1962, when the all-white collection presented at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence established him as a leading representative of haute couture with a clear identity.
