We lack an organization that will support fashion week. The five-day week shows a lack of vision and that we are not able to command respect. I am not saying it's anyone's fault in particular, it's our fault. We have the highest concentration of brands, how can we accommodate everyone in four or five days?
Franca SozzaniEverything inspires me. It could be a movie. It could be a book. It could be a house. It could be one word - I'll think for hours and hours about one word sometimes. It could be anything.
Franca SozzaniIn โCurvy,โ they are superhappy with their sizes. We help them dress fashionably. We say: Itโs pointless for you to buy leggings, take this because this will look good on you. We help them choose. We donโt talk about diets because they donโt want to be on a diet, but itโs not a ghetto. Why should these women slim down? Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine.
Franca SozzaniYou can get tired of anything, everything turns old, but I want to give people the possibility to share a Vogue party. It is up to the brands to participate to make the event interesting. I am satisfied, but it's important never to stop.
Franca SozzaniI am a great supporter of [Matteo ] Renzi, he is young, he knows how to communicate, he's our great hope.
Franca SozzaniFor me, money is to use - it's only to use. So I never have money because I always spend. That's why in a way I protect myself in having houses. But if I had just cash or kept it in the bank, I'd spend it immediately. But not for stupid things. So I don't like to have money. I never have money in my pocket.
Franca SozzaniI like to be risky every day, changing minds every day. I'm not reliable at all in my ideas. I can change my ideas three times a day. I change different things, the parts of the content. But I never change the content of who I am. So my challenge every day is to change and to take risks.
