In the backstage of haute couture, an aesthetic revolution rarely unfolds solely on the runway. The new management of Valentino 2027 proves that behind a poetic artistic vision, there must be uncompromising precision in image management. The Roman fashion house, faithful to the great legacy of its founder Valentino Garavani, consistently redefines its managerial structures. This is therefore a clear signal of readiness to strengthen the brand’s global position in the competitive luxury market.
Karim Zebdji at the helm of global communications
As part of a dynamic restructuring of the image division, the reins of global communication have been entrusted to Karim Zebdji, who will lead operations from the brand’s Milan office. An experienced manager, for nearly a decade responsible for media relations at Saint Laurent, and previously associated with Hogan and Dunhill, he brings proven expertise to the Roman fashion house. Working closely with the marketing division, Zebdji is responsible for ensuring a consistent, distinctive brand voice in key international markets. The new appointments in merchandising and communications complete the process of staff reorganization, creating an integrated team focused on long-term cultural resonance.
New Valentino management: strategic stabilization and artistic dialogue
The formal reorganization of structures also perfectly aligns with the signature narrative of creative director Alessandro Michele, who brings his unique, erudite style to the fashion house. In this balance of power, the new management of Valentino 2027 thus benefits from the powerful capital backing of the company MFI Luxury S.r.l. The majority stake in this company is held by the Qatari fund Mayhoola, while a minority stake of 30 percent belongs to the Kering group. This provides the fashion house with the operational stability necessary for the long-term development of its new identity without the pressure of sudden market fluctuations.
