VINCENZO VALVO

Vincenzo Valvo was born in Treviso in 1981 from Sicilian parents. After his classical studies, he enrolled at Ied Milan and graduated in Fashion Design with a thesis on the concept of beauty. "The idea of beauty is related to individuality, what is beautiful is what is unique, and the body is in the midst of contemporary reality and at the centre of artistic research, mirror of our time and his progress, transgressions, then becomes an accessory, a field of exploration and experimentation, as a skin that contains our soul."With a thesis advisor as Andrea Incontri, his professor of accessories design, his fate was marked.However not content of training, he enrolled for a master in Accessories Design at Ied in Rome, where he obtained a second diploma with top marks in a class where the cultural contaminations are a source of inspiration. After winning several competitions, including the Fashion Talents on Style.it, and experiences for large companies in the industry, decide to want to embark on his way, with courage and determination. The authentic character of Vincenzo Valvo bags occurs in a mix of multicultural influences and typical Italian taste, in a stylistic climax of strong impact, where true luxury is not given only by the pursuit of perfection in the selection of materials and forms, but lies mainly in refining functional and qualitative requirements. The research for versatility and dynamism is likely to amplify the wearer's temperament without compromise, in an aesthetic fusion of masculine and feminine, ostentation and linearity, almost wanting to emphasize the taste for provocation. The design results in a highly pragmatic attitude, a way of being, which creates a kind of connection with the one who’s wearing doing of the object an element of personality.
