At last night’s party for Valentino’s new virtual museum, the designer admitted that he’s not very tech-savvy. “Unfortunately, I am not so good for clicking the computers and all these things,” he confessed. Does he go to real museums often? “A real museum? I don’t want to see them anymore,” he scoffed. “This, everybody can see it. A real museum, it’s only for the people who pass by in the city.” Nearby, Daphne Guinness, resplendent in a gray dress with an enormous bow at the neck, explained that she’d gotten ready for the party in about ten minutes, as usual. “I can only think about something ten minutes before I leave the house. I’m not being coy. That is actually right,” she insisted. She does enlist help getting dressed sometimes, though: “I quite like having someone help me do my hair because it’s quite difficult to do the back sometimes. But I can do it. I mean, if I’m in the jungle I can do it.” Is she often in the jungle? “I’m tougher than I look.”

Daphne Guinness If we ever make it to Mars, what will you wear in outer space? I’m into space. I’m into M-theory. Basically, all I like doing is studying physics and art. I’m not really into fashion at all. And I don’t think it’s going to be that interesting on Mars. There’s not really much to do.

I'd like to get rid of this one. [Points to back.] It looks partially gone. She's partially gone. What did it used to be? Oh, it was just tragic. It was dumb. It was an angel. I didn't plan it very well. I was in New Orleans, and I wasn't in a good place. And it was by the harbor. It was very sailor.

Izabel Goulart Are you going home to Brazil for the holidays? That is one thing you can ask any Brazilian and I'm sure they will say yes. We always go back home. There's no way that you can be anywhere else than in Brazil in the holidays. Why is that? It's summertime in Brazil at New Year's and Christmastime, so I just want to hang on the beach. I've been working so much, wearing so many high heels and tight dresses and makeup. I just want to wear flips flops, a bikini, and no makeup.

Hanneli Mustaparta and partygoer You're clearly not one of those people who won't wear white in winter. Yes. When people say to me, "Oh my god, I never think about wearing white in the winter!" I’m like, "We’re grown-ups. What are you going to do, roll around in the mud? We’re not toddlers."

Waris Ahluwalia You have a reputation for party-going. Hardly. I'm never out! What does it take for you to decide to spend the night in? Exhaustion. I say "never mind" a lot. It seems like I don't, but I do.

Valentino Would you describe yourself as tech-savvy? No, because unfortunately I am not so good for clicking the computers and all these things.  Do you think your virtual museum is as good as going to a real museum? A real museum? I don't want to see them anymore. This, everybody can see it. A real museum, it's only for the people who pass by in the city.
