What worries me is that now, communication is virtual.

Today it's normal. Photos used to be a support to the text, but we turned things around, reducing the words to a minimum.

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?

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

Social media are fundamental to communicate and understand what happens in the world. It's a point of view and an immediate commentary.

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.

I need to protect myself from everybody. I see so many people all day, all demanding their own jobs, their own opportunities, so in a way, I make a distinction. I'm very difficult about opening myself up with people at first . . . It just takes time.
