My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.
I am really looking forward to walking past people on the street wearing my clothes and know I am designing for an everyday woman.
I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
I think my goal is not even with celebrities. I love celebrities, but my goal is to walk down the street and just see people wearing my stuff - that is the goal!
I was obsessed with fashion when I was young. I thought fashion meant fashion design, and I thought I wanted to be a designer at some point.
I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?'
I want young people to be able to buy into what I design. When I was young, I wanted to buy designer brands even if all I could afford was the cheapest wallet, the cheapest pen, the cheapest T-shirt because I wanted to be a part of it.
I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.
