Valentino and Wolford join forces for a luxury collection

Luxury brand Wolford and the famous Italian couture house Valentino SPA are announcing their co-operation for bringing out a joint collection in the Autumn/Winter 2007/08 season. Valentino has designed for Wolford a line of five bodysuits and matching tights which will be available in selected Wolford and Valentino boutiques worldwide from July 2007. The co-operation will cover the Autumn/Winter 2007/08 and Spring/Summer 2008 seasons.

Holger Dahmen, CEO of Wolford, is very pleased that Mr Valentino decided to be part of the world of Wolford and to follow Wolford’s tradition of working with famous designers: “With this beautiful collection, which we realised as a cooperation with Mr Valentino, we are sure to attract the sophisticated and very demanding fashion customer who is looking for a piece of uniqueness with regard to design and quality. The styles perfectly combine the high quality and image of the Valentino brand with the excellent knitting know-how of Wolford.”

Remarking on the agreement Valentino said: “Since my first collections, I have always used special tights; embroidered, printed, enriched in many different ways. They are very important in my looks. So now I am very happy to make them available to all women. And to have developed this new collection with a partner who is really able to translate my ideas into designs and materials that look really perfect”.

The designs of the bodysuits, tights and stay-up reveal a subtle classic line and a delicate refinement in the details used. Bows, ruches, dots and pleats reveal the sophisticated interpretation of femininity. Defined colours like black, ivory and the famous red highlight the exclusive pattern and the comfortable, elastic material. All styles appear ultra feminine, sleek and chic, worthy of being worn on the red carpet and at the office.
