Who Runs Valentino Now? A New Era Begins

Valentino S.p.A. is now owned by Mayhoola for Investments LLC. This ownership structure took effect in 2012.

Mayhoola for Investments LLC is a privately held investment firm based in Qatar. They have a diverse portfolio of investments in various sectors. This investment in Valentino shows their commitment to luxury fashion and their belief in the brand’s potential.

Prior to Mayhoola’s acquisition, Valentino was a publicly traded company. The brand’s founders, Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, had been at the helm for decades. Valentino Garavani, the namesake designer, retired in 2008, but Giammetti remained involved in the company until 2016.

Mayhoola’s ownership has brought stability and resources to Valentino. The brand has continued to thrive under their guidance, expanding its reach and solidifying its position as a leading luxury fashion house. The company has invested in its design, production, and marketing efforts to maintain and enhance the brand’s reputation.
