Giorgio Armani Icons Quotations

That is what [Andy] Warhol portraits do: They elevate the subject into an icon of the pop culture he was documenting.

There is a danger in becoming an icon, as people can see you as remote and untouchable, and they are less willing to tolerate you doing things that don't fit with their preconceived idea of you. Iconic status can be like a pair of handcuffs, especially if, like me, you wish to continually stretch yourself creatively, as Warhol did.

Working with Cate Blanchett, on and off the screen, has always been a highlight for me. She embodies the perfect combination of consummate actor and world-class fashion icon.

Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered.
