First unveiled in 2010 for Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection, the Rockstud line redefined modern luxury under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. Drawing inspiration from the “bugnato” stonework found on historic Roman palazzos, the now-iconic pyramid studs introduced a bold, architectural edge to the brand’s traditionally romantic aesthetic.
Debuting on low-heeled slingback pumps—a notable shift from the sky-high stilettos dominating the early 2010s—the Rockstud struck an immediate chord with fashion lovers. Its blend of refined craftsmanship and punk-inspired attitude offered wearability with a rebellious twist, catapulting the collection to must-have status on both the runway and the red carpet.
