Fashion has always been very generous. Think of what it has done for curing AIDS.

I feel what is in the air. I go with my instinct.

Bloggers now have no concept. They are given things; they put them on, take pictures, and then just disappear from sight. Who cares?

This is a choice I made 26 years ago when I joined the magazine. Vogue was in Italian but I wanted to speak to everyone so I thought of creating images that were made to talk.

I thought Italian Vogue had always been considered the most experimental, avant-garde magazine. If I was going to use the same kind of language and the same kind of photos or images on the web site, it would be a disaster because Vogue has its own world, and it could be a little bit cold, you know? We don't give what you call a service.

I am a great supporter of [Matteo ] Renzi, he is young, he knows how to communicate, he's our great hope.

My view is not just to find young talents, it's to support them too.
