Valentin von Arnim leads one of Germany’s last privately owned luxury fashion houses. Founded in 1976 by his mother, Iris von Arnim, the brand is internationally recognised for exceptional craftsmanship and understated luxury. Since 2009, Valentin has guided the company’s strategic and operational development, strengthening its global presence whilst upholding its commitment to quality and heritage.
He oversees production and product quality—areas central to the house’s identity and its pursuit of longevity and excellence in luxury knitwear. His leadership has also driven key expansions, including the launch of IRIS VON ARNIM UOMO in 2013, as well as the continued development of the brand’s Retail and E-Commerce channels.
Before joining the family business, Valentin worked in the Principal Investment Area at Goldman Sachs in New York. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Williams College, a perspective that informs his approach to design, culture and craftsmanship within contemporary luxury fashion.
