Stylistic Identity
“…Haute Couture has always signified quality, precision in cuts and draping, attention to details and to the choice of accessories. It embodies the highest tradition of Italian creativity and craftsmanship…”
STYLISTIC CODEs
The unmistakable signatures of the Valentino world—Red and the V logo- become instant symbols of this glamour.

Valentino decided in 2003 on an increase of about 3% in retail distribution and balance its geographical presence in the World, most
of all in Asia and America, which were considered under-exploited
Valentino is trying to reduce dependence on retail licensing and to expand accessories and menswear
![Page 14: Valentino’s history 1932 Born in Voghera (PV) 40’s Studies french at the Berlitz School 1949 Moves to Paris and takes dance lessons 50’s Works for Guy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e675503460f94b62523/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
All Valentino stores are very similar to each other and are based on common criteria: make rational spaces and shapes, but it’s hard
to find differences between Valentino stores and other designer shops
Valentino started an acquiring campaign of licensed shops to
increase the percentage of directly operated stores from 48% to 65%
by the end of 2007. Thus Valentino will also be able to
strengthen its image through the retail policy: a firm, a style, a
shop… First Valentino Shop in Rome
Which one is not a Valentino shop? Can
you tell the difference?
(N° 3 is a Ferré shop)

Retail Identity
Is the retail image coherent with the brand’s one?Can we find in Valentino boutiques Valentino’s idea and codes (Exclusiveness, Elegance, Romanticism, Feminility)?
“It isn’t always hot and it isn’t always sexy, but that’s ok”Lauren Goldstein by Valentino Roma, that presented Valentin’s Day in 2002
“It’s not exciting, it’s not subversive, and it’s never even
original”Lauren Goldstein

Brand positioning
Although Valentino’s success as a coutourier, market forces and increased competitiveness drove to a change: from griffe in a high end market to brand in lower segments

LicensingValentino uses an intensive licensing strategy in order to
diversify its brand in different segments and product categories (eyewear, silks, ties, furs,wedding dresses, textiles, fragrances)

Competitors
Valentino’s line extension
enabled him to gain access to
different market segments.
This process entailed
competing with many established brands at various
levels.

Where is Valentino?
In 2005 profits grew by 20% with respect to last year
Consolidation of Valentino fashion Group
Strategic acquisition of Japanese retail network
Italy- increase in wholesale distribution and womenswear in the diffusion segment
Emerging luxury market in Eastern Europe
![Page 21: Valentino’s history 1932 Born in Voghera (PV) 40’s Studies french at the Berlitz School 1949 Moves to Paris and takes dance lessons 50’s Works for Guy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e675503460f94b62523/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What’s nextThe positive trend of the Spring/Summer pre-collections anticipates growth in revenues in line with the previous season
Breaking through the Indian market
Continuing expansion in Asia
Cutting the haute couture business from 3% to 1% by lowering Valentino’s influence… After Valentino?
BUT
Will this policy be sustainable?

Excessive Brand/Line extension and licensing made it impossible to mantain a
clear and integrated idea of the brand identity that was originally envisioned by Valentino and made him famous all over
the world
SOME Examples are:
Low quality leather goods
Bad quality curtains
R.E.D. Valentino is not so exclusive
Chinese use of Valentino name
