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

Perhaps I shouldn't have been influenced by the idea that my name could be spread across the entire world.

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

If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.

I'd experienced the '40s and '50s by looking at my grandparents' old clothes, books, and magazines

But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry.

I never loved the world around me as it was.
