Gianni Versace quotes about
I really want to make clothes that are feminine and help women look beautiful.
For me, the summer will be pure gray - mother-of-pearl gray, very pale gray. To me, this is the big statement for summer. Then we have light blue, light turquoise, lots of pink.
I love very much the night after every fashion show when I have all those invitations to parties and I stay quiet at home by myself.
I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom.
Comfort is very important to me. I think people live better in big houses and in big clothes.
I am a typical Italian; I love the clan. But I don't think about getting married.
Designing came to me. I didn't have to move.
Glamour is back, but with a minimalist touch.

I want to be a designer for my time.
I don't license everywhere. I take care of my name.
Women are more sure of themselves today. They don't have to emulate the way men dress.
I want to be the joy to people through my work.
I'm a little like Marco Polo, going around and mixing cultures.
