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 have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: '60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.
I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture.
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.
