I don't like fashionistas. They only wear the brand. You want to become a fashionista? Easy! Spend money.

I think the future fashion will be more and more separated-like, on one side would be big distribution, and on the other side there will be high-level prêt-à-porter and couture. I mean, the prêt-à-porter is already couture in a way for the prices and the way that it's made. The big distribution will allow people to dress in a fashionable way, so this could be for everybody. This part of the big distribution will be stronger and stronger, but the other part we are coming up on is more and more rich people, because we are always thinking about Europe and about America.

I never program anything, I decide at the last minute.

Fashion is a mirror of the era in which we live. Why should the magazine be disconnected from reality? It's not like in the past.

When we launched our [ Vogue] site around five years ago, I had already started this process on paper. We are now building an enormous portfolio of photos, we've uploaded two million photos and we have three people that review them.

Everything 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.

I say let Matteo Renzi work. He took over a country that was in disarray, not florid. And not the other way around.
