In Italian there is an expression: We don't sleep on the fame.

I'm a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it's frivolous or superficial, but it's not that way at all. It's actually very hard work.

I do think that exercise is important, not only to keep you in shape but also for your state of mind. However, I am not fanatical about it.

I love the jacket with a varnish finish, a bomber. I adore the proportions, with the tight skirt, no stockings, very sexy - skirt to the knee.

For me the safety pin is about rebellion, and I'm punk in the soul.

I think sex is part of life, like eating and breathing.

I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.
