Anne Hathaway’s ‘Funky’ Morning with Valentino

“Today’s gonna get funky,” said Anne Hathaway at this morning’s press conference in honor of the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum. The actress landed at MoMa straight from last night’s Kennedy Center Honors in D.C. “I have not slept,” she confirmed, before launching into a zealous speech on the “revolutionary” qualities of the digital museum. Though Hathaway had initially refused the invitation to be the “godmother” of the launch, she said Giancarlo Giammetti and Valentino himself persisted, and that once she understood what they were trying to do, she couldn’t say no. “Ladies and gentlemen, today we are witnessing the birth of a revolution and no, I do not believe that word is hyperbolic,” said the actress. “The Valentino family has created something that has never existed before—a virtual museum that will change art, the art world, and how we experience both, forever.”
