I've learned how to appreciate what I have. And it's a lot. I'm very lucky.

I love Alexander McQueen. I like the construction of his suits. I think it's fantastic.

I studied at a university in Florence and finished my degree. My mother was very strict about this recipe: You need to get your degree.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.

I am not a great believer in fairy tales. Every woman should fight hard for her own happy endings. Although occasionally it is nice to wake up as a princess.

When my mother did fittings for her clients, I was hiding, looking at these beautiful ladies try on these fantastic clothes. I was dreaming as a small child to try these clothes on myself.

Gianni created the whole thing. I came later and helped him.
