Selected quotes by Valentino Garavani
An evening dress that reveals a woman's ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.
I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.
I love my beauty. It's not my fault.
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 hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?'
I like things simple.
My first year, people were interested in me because I was new. Then the press started to come.
Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.
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 especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.
There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.
I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: '60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
I didn't like the '80s at all; it was a vulgar moment of fashion.
I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture.
I am always locked in my design studio.
