Fashion is not frivolous.

Powerful women intimidate men. If she's a really well-known woman, she has a career, she's famous - in that case, men are really afraid.

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 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.

When I worked with Gianni Versace at the end of his life, I was the person with whom he would confide and say anything. If there was something I didn't like, I would be honest and say, "No, no, no! Do something different."

I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I’m already thinking glamour.

My mother didn't want me to be in fashion. She was in the fashion business, so was my brother, and she thought it was too crazy for me. She wanted me to be married with children, to be independent, yes, but not to have a crazy life.
