World-renowned Italian designer Garavani Valentino, like many in the fashion world, began his career with an important apprenticeship that would pave the way for his success. In 1949 at the age of 17, Valentino moved to Paris, the fashion capital of the world.

Having completed his studies at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and also at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, Valentino acquired work under Jean Desses first, followed a few years later by Guy Laroche. By 1959 Valentino was confident enough to set out on his own, and thus began a career that would be marked by honor after honor.
