Valentino’s dresses are synonymous with refinement, femininity and elegance. A woman is sublimated in one of his black dresses, highlighting the best of her !

For the autumn-winter collection 2010, Valentino has added a “Rock” edge to his creations. Here we find t-shirts with tulle, tulle dresses to wear with a leather jacket. His range has extended to younger, more “fun” customers. The prices on this autumn – winter 2010 collection are more accessible.

The bow remains Valentino’s ever-present signature style.
