Angie Valentino was born into style. Raised near Milan, the city's fashion culture attracted her at a young age. After studying set design at a performance art high school, she formally entered the industry at age 18 while studying costume design at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milano, simultaneously earning a degree from BCM Cosmetics.

Since that time, Valentino has worked continuously as a makeup artist, set designer, and costume designer for major fashion houses, international brands, television networks, film companies, and private clients both in Milan and New York, where she moved in 2015. Her awards include Best Makeup Artist at Los Angeles Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week, respectively.
