Valentino Garavani

I like things simple.

I love my beauty. It's not my fault.

My first year, people were interested in me because I was new. Then the press started to come.

Jessica Jackley has a gift for making people want to fork over their cash. To total strangers. Far, far away.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'
