“Valentino is by definition the most established Italian Maison de Couture and our strategy fosters a couture mindset in all sectors and in every department. A Couture approach permeates everything we do - attention to detail is fundamental, just like the dedication a seamstress puts into all the steps required to craft a gown in our atelier. In that light, we place human capital at the core of all our activities: people-centricity flows into client-centricity, strengthening the chain of value and its authenticity. In our Maison, creativity is the energy generator, the center of our journey that needs to be constantly fueled and sustained freely, transversally reaching across the Company. Creativity is our daily source of inspiration.”

Jacopo Venturini, CEO, Maison Valentino
