“The whole scale and scope of the decorating and fashion business in this country are incomparably grander than in London.

“The way our big cities change sucks. The beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. Artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. Not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. Big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. For me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.” WayKindLittlesDifferentEndsSometimesBigsArtistLostCitiesFashionDangerousPoetSceneActiveArtisticCorporateActivistDifferent KindsEdgyBig Cities Author:Patti Smith

“One of my favorite scenes in Fellini is the ecclesiastical fashion show in Roma, and the end of 8 ½, when all the characters in the life of Guido, Marcello Mastroianni, get together and do this grand procession. That was on my mind, especially at the 45th anniversary, when all those characters in Valentino's life returned to Rome. I kept watching that and saying, if only we can arrange that grand procession at the end...and it kind of happened.” MindKindCharacterTogetherFashionSceneMy FavoriteFashion Show Author:Matt Tyrnauer
