VALENTINO
"Couture has to be magical."- Pierpaolo Piccioli
ULYANA SURGEENKO
"Gone With the Wind, the Headless Horseman, Huck Finn—it's our American collection"
"The buttons nipping up the back of gowns were porcelain, hand-painted with characters out of Russian nursery rhymes, and delicate crocheted embroideries were inset like cameos into sweet silk blouses."
CHANEL
"...a mere forest, shipped into the Grand Palais tree by tree. His guests wandered through the woods till they happened upon a classical amphitheater. "Neo-classical," Karl clarified. He was dreaming of Weimar, sylvan hub of German Romanticism in the late eighteenth century, home to Goethe and Schiller."
