In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.
It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better.
I think it's the responsibility of a designer to try to break rules and barriers.
I never fall down. I always fight.
I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom.
Even Michelangelo got paid for doing the Sistine Chapel. To those artists who say they're doing it for the love of art, I say: Get real.
Comfort is very important to me. I think people live better in big houses and in big clothes.
I want always to be positive.
My dream was always to be a composer, but fashion came very easily.
Women are more sure of themselves today. They don't have to emulate the way men dress.
I don't license everywhere. I take care of my name.
I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.
I want to be the joy to people through my work.
Designing came to me. I didn't have to move.
I am a typical Italian; I love the clan. But I don't think about getting married.
At the beginning of my career, it was very hard to go up. Now, it's very hard to stay on top. You have to stay there, and I want to stay there so badly. I'm still standing.
Fashion needs incredible women, alive, stimulating, with style like Diana Vreeland. She is the most. The way she talks expresses all her values.
I try to contrast; life today is full of contrast... We have to change.
