For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.

I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.

There are days when I'm completely depressed and able to do only one drawing

Italy is a divided country without a center.

Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable.

I am not nostalgic for the past. And for me, being a museum curator was a childhood dream.

There's always some kind of hidden logic.
