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

I realized that so many clever people respect fashion so much.

To have to be sexy? That I hate. To be outrageously sexy? That I love.

I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity.

Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.

I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

I remember being mad about having pink and red shoes. I gew up envying other girls' pink and red shoes.
