Since 2008, the renowned Italian fashion house of Valentino has been anchored by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, who have moved the house’s aesthetic forward with their contemporary feminine designs.

One of Chiuri and Piccioli’s most profound inspirations is Rome itself, the Eternal City.
