Girls throw away so much energy in this search for beauty and sexiness.

I'm not interested in how people dress.

I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

I am in a key moment. I kind of understand that I have to use my work more completely without being ashamed.

I want to confront myself. I challenge and doubt myself. Basically, what I don't like is to get bored.

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.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.
