Giambattista Valli Joins the Prestigious French Haute Couture Group

In a significant development for the world of high-end fashion, Giambattista Valli has been admitted as a full member of the French Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion. The announcement was made today, confirming the Italian designer's place among some of the most esteemed names in the industry.

Valli's fashion house, known for its handcrafted production of garments, is one of the latest additions to the French Haute Couture group. The group, consisting of multiple high-end fashion houses, includes Dior, Chanel, Maison Martin Margiela, Givenchy, and now, Valli.

The admission was decided in a meeting last Friday, and it comes after Valli was invited to show his collection last year. The criteria for membership include the handcrafted production of garments, the creation of made-to-order pieces that are unique, and the employment of a certain number of staff in the house.

Giambattista Valli's career in the fashion world began with Cecilia Fanfani, and he has since worked for renowned brands like Fendi and Ungaro. Today, his current workplace is in Paris, specifically associated with the Musée du Louvre as shown in the "Louvre Couture" exhibition running until August 24, 2025.

Cecilia Fanfani played a role in the early stages of Valli's career, and his fashion house is one of the many fashion houses in the French Haute Couture group. The appellation that Valli received is legally protected, and it was granted upon meeting these criteria by the French Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion.

This prestigious appellation is a testament to Valli's dedication to craftsmanship and his unique vision in the world of fashion. With his addition to the French Haute Couture group, the future of high-end fashion in Paris looks brighter than ever.
