In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.

I would say there is no Prada woman. I'm interested in women in general. I don't have any kind of preference.

I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

I like the irony in my work.

I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.
