Valentino eyeglasses are another creation of Valentino Garavani, the man behind the Valentino brand, renowned for his designs that combine Paris embroidery with Italian superior fabric and workmanship quality. Born in Italy to an electrical appliance store owner, Valentino had always indulged in his passion in arts and design. In order to further develop his talent, Valentino moved to Paris when he was only fourteen to study design at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and later on to work in Guy Laroche. During his twenties, he returned to Rome to open a small studio where he was later discovered by celebrities visiting the venue for the shooting of “Dolve Vita”. A couple of years later, he presented his first collection in a fashion showcase at Florence's Pitti Palace, where he astounded the international crowd of photojournalists and buyers and even won the Neiman Marcus award with his “No colour” collection. From then on, he designed dresses for celebrities like Jacqueline Kennedy and soon opened his first ready-to-wear shop in 1969 in Milan.

The famous brand name of Valentino has also extended its reach to Valentino eye glasses. As with many famous Italian eyeglasses, the Valentino range of eyeglasses is also manufactured and marketed by Safilo, a frames and lenses manufacturer and distributor established in Italy since 1934. With the company focused primarily on the quality and production of lenses and frames, Safilo has acquired production licensing for many other designer brands in addition to Valentino.

Valentino eye glasses are mostly inherent through its maxi designs and distinctive details. With this, Valentino eyewear for women is well recognized through large and generous proportions complemented by rounded profiles. The V for Valentino logo is usually enclosed in a diamante oval or adorned by metal inserts of various color. With this, acetate is usually used as the material for the Valentino eyeglass frames.

Alternatively, Valentino glasses for men are signified by contoured lines and chunky profiles, with sweat-bands available as optional accessories. Prominent four lenses structure or visible screws on the temples are obvious in some models of these eyeglasses.

Finally, Valentino prescription eyeglasses reflect elegance with metal or acetate frames coupled with rectangular or oval shapes mostly found in sky blue, beige or pink. The Valentino prescription eyeglasses for women are prominently designed in cat’s eye shapes while for the men, bold boxy design with dark colors are usually used as distinguishing features.
