As Valentino Garavani once said, “For the Valentino maison, red is not just a color. It is a non-fading mark, a logo, an iconic element of the brand, a value.” So, it’s only natural to celebrate this relationship that brings the House and this color together, and explore it through a book. Well, Rosso Valentino book is finally here to take us on a journey through more than 50 years of meticulously preserved archives, as well as over 180 iconic dresses and accessories that range from silk ball gowns and haute couture chiffon creations, to nappa calfskin “Rockstud” slingbacks and VLogo Signature buckle belts with antique brass finishes.

Capturing the works of the designers that took over the realms of the house, from Valentino Garavani to Pierpaolo Piccioli, this book dives into the connection between Valentino and one of the world’s most powerful and culturally symbolic colors. Through the words of writer Charlie Porter, let the journey begin!
