I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didnt have to be a gigolo. In real life.
Valentino lives his life like the Queen of England - he lives in the bubble. But he designs for royals, so it's almost a business decision, even though he would do it anyway. He wants to be part of that world.
I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?
I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag.
I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
Ralph Lauren and Valentino have a lot of common. Ralph Lauren was one of the first really to put himself at the center of the story, and Valentino was even earlier.
I became sort of an aficionado on the Valentino pajamas, because I like those so much.
Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other.
