When you think of Valentino, one thing comes to mind: red. Bright, bold, more than eye-catching, the designer’s signature scarlet hue was introduced to the world in 1959 and has gone on to become an iconic hallmark for the brand and is even now known as Valentino red.
No look shows off the timelessness of this hue like the sensational archival gown Anne Hathaway wore for last year’s WWD Honors in New York, with the fiery red, floor-length dress feeling just as ‘of the moment’ last year, as it did when it first debuted on the Valentino runway for its fall 2003 couture show.
