Gianni Versace

“Perfume puts the finishing touch to elegance - a detail that subtly underscores the look, an invisible extra that completes a man and a woman's personality. Without it, there is something missing.”

“I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.”

“Fashion goes with the feeling of the moment. It's related to movies, to art, to music.”

“In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.”

“I don't believe in good taste.”

“What is the key to my success? I think it's the fact that I've always been myself.”

“Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.”

“I think it's the responsibility of a designer to try to break rules and barriers.”

“Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.”

“I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom.”

“I like the dream, the beauty, the glamour of fashion. I don't want to see reality.”

“That is the key of this collection, being yourself.”

“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.”
