Carmen Marc Valvo

Label Overview

With stints at Nina Ricci and Christian Dior under his belt, designer Carmen Marc Valvo launched his own line of sportswear in 1989, his artistic nature often displaying itself in unique and unusual detailing. It was his dip into glamorous eveningwear, a self-described "passion," that delighted his Hollywood following, including powerful leading ladies like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lucy Liu. His modern but accessible take on red-carpet glamour has earned Valvo a secure place in the hearts of women who dress up and enjoy doing it. The brand also includes custom furs, jewelry, and a swimwear line.
