Valentino

The history of world fashion is also complex and interesting, as is the history of any state. The birth of major world famous brands also deserves close attention. Especially when the inspirer and creator of this brand is such an interesting person as Valentino Garavani.

The Valentino brand is very popular all over the world, which is not surprising, because its models only emphasize its dignity, make shoes envious of others, scent perfumes to the depths of the soul, and accessories combine practicality and beauty in themselves.

Let us consider in more detail the history of this brand, popular collections and accessories.

The creator of the brand is Italian Valentino Garavani, born in 1932 in an ordinary Catholic family. The gift of drawing opened with him in early childhood, as soon as he learned to confidently hold pencils in his hands.

The boy liked to invent and create all sorts of images and outfits, and this children's hobby made him want to create his own clothing line. The same enthusiasm and encouraged him to enroll in the Academy of Arts, located in Milan, and later in the Paris Art School.

Unprecedented success of the brand, in part, provided the famous Elizabeth Taylor, who was one of the first to become a client of a young Italian designer. And soon after this, the number of beautiful clients was replenished with Princess Margaret and even Jacqueline Kennedy herself, the first lady of the United States.

The brand, as an integral unit of world fashion, was formed only when Valentino Garavani met Giancarlo Giammetti, who became him not only a faithful romantic companion, but also a business partner in his entire life.

It was their cooperation that gave a powerful impetus to the formation of the brand and the spread of its popularity around the world. And, after a while, the brand became part of the multi-million dollar corporation Partecipazioni Industriali, the owner of which, based on Valentino's fame, created many companies that produce luxury goods.

After the show in 2007, which was held in Paris, Valentino Garavani announced to the world his desire to leave the business of his life and complete his career as a designer.

An undeniable feature of Valentino's women's collections is femininity and sophistication, but clothing lines are not limited to these characteristics.

At one of the Italian exhibitions, held in Rome in 1951, one of the clients of the famous designer - Elizabeth Taylor, it was noticed that the styles are dominated by folds and layering, and in the outlines of some models even elements from the animal world are traced.

In addition to the outlines, in the collections of Valentino, animalistic moods are really pronounced - embossing, animalistic prints and images of the representatives of the fauna world are often used.

As for clothes for men, everything is quite simple, the main prevailing feature is practicality. Turned silhouettes, sophistication and elegance bring to the men's collections certain similarities with the uniform.

Decorative elements that adorn both women's and men's collections are various unusual seams, pins, metal fragments, and dark colors are dominant in colors: black, dark gray, dark blue.

Among the collections of Valentino there are many unusual ideas and ideas, but some deserve close attention.

For example, the red collection, the creation of which Valentino inspired a trip to Barcelona. It was the first formed collection of a young designer and was called Gotha. The line consisted entirely of twenty dresses in red, because the designer believed that the red tint is able to decorate any woman.

"Colorless" collection, characterized by the predominance of white in the creation of models. The clothing line received such a name because of the statements of critics who dubbed it colorless due to the predominance of bright and unusual shades characteristic of the period of that time.

The collection, denoted as V - means Valentino, became a lifeline for the brand, because after the release of Gotha he was in danger of ruin and collapse. It was during this period that Valentino met his business partner, who inspired him to create a new line with his own logo.

In addition, many collections of wedding dresses were created, and even special lines of underwear, created in conjunction with the brand Warnaco.

And in 2003, especially for the younger generation, Valentino created the Red Valentino line, which was notable for its lighter and more relaxed styles and more democratic value in comparison with other collections.

There are a lot of models and types of clothes in the collections of Valentino, and this provides a rich selection.

Among the models of outerwear deserves special attention women's coat. The fitted silhouette, soft fabrics, ruffles and other decorative elements give this type of outerwear a more delicate, romantic and feminine look.

Valentino T-shirts have a somewhat informal look, due to the prevalence of animalistic and camouflage prints, as well as images of birds and animals, and the corporate logo - the letter V.

Jeans of this brand are made only from high quality material, and all seams are neat, straight lines. Among the models there are many tight options, as well as straight and even flared styles.

Valentino shorts are every girl's dream. Among the many variations with a variety of decor, each can choose a suitable model. The collections feature a variety of models in classic style with French lace decor, prints in the form of bright butterflies, various neat bows, and a stylish two in one model: shorts + skirt.

Speaking of skirts! In the collections of Valentino they have a special place, since the diversity is so great that it is hardly enough strength to try on each of them. This season is particularly popular bright, colored models with a geometric print, whether it is a straight or broken line, the image of any figures, or the good old cell.

Popular lace, pleated skirts and unusual models with pleats and bright inserts. This skirt will suit any fashionistas.

Dresses from the eminent designer - something magical. Each girl, at least once tried on a product from any collection, felt like a princess, who found herself in a beautiful fairy tale.

Evening dresses in their performance resemble something airy, sublime or even cosmic. It's all about the cut, which is a tight top and a fluffy, airy skirt.

The collection of evening dresses with long sleeves made of translucent, delicate mesh fabric is a work of art. The skirt part is decorated with an ornament embroidered with decorative threads or lined with precious stones of different sizes.

Speaking in general about the line of evening dresses, it should be noted that mainly the models are presented in the form of a maxi length and most of them have a long sleeve. Some of them have a rather frank appearance, and some, on the contrary, look more restrained and chaste.

The brand’s red card is the hallmark of the brand because of the very first Valentino collection. Models of dresses of this shade can have a different cut and style, different length and width of the skirt part, as well as a huge variety in the fabric variations.

Particularly noteworthy are wedding dresses, which are something royal and truly exquisite. Refined styles, tight-fitting silhouette, give the figure a seductive shape, and all sorts of decor in the form of lace, decorative and precious stones, pearls and simple beads, makes the product solemn and incredibly beautiful.

For the most part in the collections of men's clothing Valentino presents costumes - twos, consisting of a stylish jacket and trousers. It is worth noting that the costumes have a special cut that provides an impeccable fit. The jacket sits flawlessly along the shoulders, the pants do not seem too wide, but only emphasize the dignity of the male figure.

In addition, the collections of this brand are filled with various shirts, in different versions. For classic models, a denser, monotonous fabric is used, and for light summer ones - thin, flowing fabric with interesting prints.

In addition, the collections present a lot of models of outerwear - jackets, jackets, coats. And some models in sporty style - hoodies and sweatshirts.

Fabrics in the process of making clothes of this brand use the most diverse, but they have something in common - all the selected materials are of the highest quality and are obtained by processing only natural fibers.

For the manufacture of coats and some types of jackets used natural wool and delicate cashmere. Products, although undergoing special treatment and are protected from moisture penetration, still require a certain amount of care in order to prevent the occurrence of the pellet.

In addition to high-quality denim shorts, the Valentino collections have a variety of models of costume fabric, which are a classic version of the product, as well as motels of lighter, flowing fabrics, knitwear and materials with high fiber content of stretch.

For the manufacture of shirts used thick cotton and linen, depending on the model. And elegant blouses with voluminous sleeves are sewn of fine silk, satin, chiffon and viscose. The products are light, airy and incredibly feminine.

In addition, in the collections of Valentino can be traced the frequent use of mesh fabrics and materials with a large embroidered pattern.

In addition to numerous models of clothing, this brand is engaged in modeling and production of shoe lines, which deserve special attention.

Sports line - sneakers and sneakers, have a fairly discreet design and almost identical shape. A special feature is the coloring of products, prints and decorative elements. And on the tongue of each of them there is a print with the brand logo.

Separately, I want to highlight the shoes, because some of them are presented in a particularly elegant version - in the form of a model with an open toe and a beautifully decorated heel, and some have a rather simple, casual look.

But the most popular and most widely regarded is the model of shoes with spikes. Decorative spikes are located on double T-shaped straps, which are attached to the buckle in the ankle area. These shoes have a pointed toe and a stiletto heel, the length of which is chosen in accordance with personal wishes.

Spikes are not spared and Valentino sandals. The location of the decor in exactly the same way as on shoes - in the area of ​​the straps, makes the product more informal and bold in appearance.

There are also calmer models, for example, with decorative bows and buckles and more elegant ones - with a thin strap in the area of ​​the fingers and an openwork heel part.

Slip-ons from this brand are something bright, perky, fun and attractive. Almost all models have bright colors, decorated with stylish combinations of several colors, prints and decorative elements in the form of spikes.

In addition, among the models of shoes there are many high-quality shoes and boots, as well as colored moccasins, stylish flip flops and romantic ballet flats.

Among the models of Valentino bags there are a lot of different ideas, but far each one is decorated with the brand's emblem on the outer side of the product, many have only an internal designation.

Beautifully colored multicolored bags, the color of which is a kind of geometric print, consisting of interwoven stripes, squares and rectangles of different sizes.

Straps on one-tone models, the main decorative element of which are small spikes of a square shape, with a pointed end, have a similar coloring.

The models decorated with precious stones and Swarovski rhinestones look luxurious. Stones, as a rule, are arranged in such a way that they form some unusual pattern or ornament in the form of interlacing branches and flowers.

The backpack is a very practical and fashionable accessory this season, and if this backpack is also from Valentino, then it is absolutely impossible to resist. In the best traditions of the brand, the products have bright colors and are decorated in characteristic ways.

For evening exits and special occasions, you should choose a stylish clutch, various models of which are also represented in the collections of the brand. Clutches, as a rule, do not have excessively bright prints and colors, but they look quite harmonious in combination with metal accessories.

In special cases, a wallet is used as a clutch if it is large enough. Large wallets can also be easily carried in bulky, roomy bags. Small, compact products are meant for neat handbags.

The brand is engaged in the release of functional wrist accessories, namely - watches. Among the models there are many products with a bracelet made of natural alloys of gold, silver or platinum. Such products are quite expensive and are decorated with real diamonds.

A lower price tag has a watch with a leather strap and Swarovski crystals acting as an ornament.

It is worth noting that absolutely all watches have a quartz movement and are represented by a wide range of products of different shapes, which provides a rich selection.

Since relatively recent times, the Valentino brand has become available not only as clothing and accessories, now you can try on the flavor of a well-known brand.

Among other accessories, glasses deserve special attention. The most common female variant is a cat-shaped rim shape. This model will give any girl a little bit of mischief and will add a touch of playfulness to the image.

There are frames and other shapes, for example, soft square, retro, aviators, simple round or weifarera with pointed ends. Every fashionista will be able to choose a model that is suitable for her type of face.

It is worth noting that the brand produces not only sunglasses, it also deals with the release of frames for dioptric lenses that correct vision.

In modern society, the risk of running into fraudsters is quite high, and instead of a high-quality genuine product, purchase a fake. That is why you should examine in detail the features of the brand, as well as some life hacks that will help you easily recognize a cheap copy.

If the purchase takes place through an online store, it makes sense to pay attention to contact details.The company providing original products, as a rule, is located directly in Italy or directly cooperates with Italian factories of a well-known brand, which must necessarily be displayed in the information.

How to distinguish a fake, holding the thing itself? There are three fairly simple steps that will help to deal with the authenticity of the product:

• The first and basic rule - the original thing can not be purchased at a low cost with it. These branded items are sold only in shaped boutiques. In such cases, there is no doubt about authenticity;
• All Valentino products have a corresponding certificate that you are entitled to request when purchasing a product. If there is none, most likely you have a fake;
• It is worth carefully considering the product logo and compare it with tags attached to the originals (their photos can be easily found on the Internet). In order to avoid litigation due to plagiarism, forgeries are always distinguished by a tag or have a subtle, at first glance, differences in design.

Brand items, including Valentino, participate in a huge number of exhibitions and shows, which should also be displayed in the product description. Doubts can arise if there are only CIS countries in the list of countries.

In the lists of boutiques that provide this product offline, there must be points located in different countries of the world, since Valentino is a brand with a world-famous name and popularity.

Before analyzing customer reviews, it is worth noting that products of this brand are not available to every person, because based on their value, only people with incomes above average can afford this or that thing.

Within the limits of affordability are only fragrances from a well-known brand, which have very good responses. Buyers, above all, are satisfied with the breadth of choice, since the variety of flavors is quite large.

Many people note both the persistence of aromas and attractive packaging design, thanks to which perfume or toilet water can be presented as a gift.

With regard to clothing and accessories, fans of this brand are always happy with the choice, whether it is a bag, shoes or a stylish dress. There are simply no complaints about the quality of materials and seams, as manufacturers carefully monitor even such trifles.
