I go from a full working day to making sure I am home for dinner with my kids. I couldn't do that in a 10cm mini skirt but I am not going to resort to sweatpants and an old t-shirt.

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

For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.

I think there was a time when I was too strict and controlling. I think I asphyxiated my children.

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

Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.

Fashion is not frivolous. I am a businesswoman, a very serious person.
