Valentine Vaillant was born in Michigan and was raised between the US and Europe. Growing up as French/American allowed for the opportunity to be immersed in the fashion culture at a young age.  This inspired her love for fashion design. 

Today, Valentine studies fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, NY - with a concentration in Sportswear and minor in Italian. Meanwhile having interned for brands such as Proenza Schouler and Cynthia Rowley in atelier and production positions, respectively.

The brand of Vaillantine is inspired by tradition and nostalgia juxtaposed with modernism and deconstruction of those ideas. Feminine silhouettes are a staple within the designs to celebrate the body through fabrics, texture, and cutouts. Vaillantine is designed for the modern woman who isn’t afraid to standout and desires eye catching pieces in her wardrobe.
