Valentino Announces Online Exclusive for Menswear

Online shoppers will be able to get their hands on exclusive items from Valentino's Fall 2012 menswear collection thanks to the "Reserve From the Runway" project.

The Italian fashion house will be unveiling its upcoming men's collection the evening of January 11 during the Pitti Uomo fashion fair in Florence, Italy. Hot on the heels of the debut, WWD reports that a selection of apparel and accessories, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, will be available for exclusive reservation at online boutique thecorner.com, with sales commencing January 12 and delivery scheduled for mid-June.

"Home delivery of Valentino's fall men's collection will take place even before the line hits the stores. It's a sign of how a storied company values and grants a privilege to customers on the Internet," explained the founder of Yoox, the Italian e-tailer behind thecorner.com.
