In a strategic leadership change, Valentino has named Riccardo Bellini as its new chief executive officer. A seasoned professional in the luxury fashion sector, Bellini previously served as the managing director at Valentino’s parent company, Mayhoola.
Bellini will officially begin his new role at Valentino in September, stepping in for Jacopo Venturini. This appointment comes amid a broader series of executive shuffles within the fashion industry, largely influenced by market challenges in the US and China.
At Valentino, Bellini will work alongside Alessandro Michele, Creative Director who joined the fashion house last year.
Partially owned by the French luxury conglomerate Kering, Valentino, Kering is currently in a transformative phase as it navigates shifting global market conditions. Founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, the company has recently been in the spotlight due to its recent leadership and ownership transitions.
