I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.

I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.

I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?
