The Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A plays a vital role in the world of fashion and luxury, with a rich and well-diversified portfolio of products which includes clothing, accessories, and footwear for men and women. In the highly discriminating world of fashion and luxury, few players have gained the international fame the Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A has achieved. The Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A offers an array of complementary brands characterised by a consolidated global presence, excellent brand awareness, and strong product recognition. The group’s activities are broken down into two business units, covering the entire luxury and fashion sector where a wide range of styles and products are offered:

•	Valentino, featuring the prestigious brands Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma and RED Valentino

•	Licensed brands MCS Marlboro Classics and M Missoni, in addition to its own brands Lebole, Oxon and Portrait.

Until 23 December 2009 there were three business units, which even included Hugo Boss, a company which was relinquished on that date and therefore no longer a part of the consolidated group. Moreover Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. owns 45% of US brand Proenza Schouler.

The Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A operates in over 85 countries, with more than 700 single-brand boutiques and 87 directly-managed shops.
