I have always been fascinated by the values of sport and loved its rituals; in fact, since ancient times sport has been a byword for top physical prowess and spectacular athletic performance.

I don't like women who follow fashion in the sense of becoming victims of it. I like women who have elegance, who have allure, who use fashion, rather than the other way around.

I didn't have a happy childhood.

My strong sense of discipline has always been with me, and it also gave me the need for deep affection. I have never been satisfied with acquaintances who are superficial, volatile, or quick to change. I have surrounded myself with people with whom I am in total complicity.

I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet, ... The White T.

Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.

A woman should always dress to be remembered, not simply to be noticed.
