Valentino WWD

Valentino is feeling positive momentum again. “Thanking the Lord, even though last year we restructured some financial aspects, we will managed to give a strategic continuity to our growth project. We may have slowed down slightly last year, but we are now pressing on the accelerator again and we are much more optimistic”, said Stefano Sassi, ceo of Valentino. “We will also continue to invest significantly in the Web, which, besides a tool for e-commerce, we also view as a micro-marketing possibility that helps us communicate with our customers and bring them closer to the brand”, said Sassi. Valentino plans store openings in China and Hong Kong, plus the renovation of existing outposts to match the house’s new image.
