“Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention ...” — Valentino Garavani Quote

“Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back... ready to be put in the garbage.”

“I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.”

“I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.”

“My friends are very rich. Elizabeth Taylor sends flowers the size of the bathtub. I'm not kidding.”

“I like to read in the bathtub. Ideally, that bathtub would be located on a small Greek island.”

“My guilty pleasure is listening to Enya in the bathtub. I do bubbles. I do essential oils. Candles, if they're around.”
