Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing.

I'm not an artist. I'm a fashion designer of clothes.

I like cold. I really like to go to cold towns. I love gray. I love winter.

I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.

I have no tolerance for boredom. I spend so many hours in the office, and I still love it.

I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.

Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.
