We, as designers, have a job with so many possibilities and connections. We are connected to so many different portals, from art to movies to music to design. Fashion is always evolving. Actually, the field is huge. I don't think there is another profession that is so open to so many possibilities.

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

Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.

My idea is always to avoid nostalgia.

I respect my work. But also I think it's very superficial.
