Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.

I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was no different from thousands of middle-class kids.

It's still feminine, but not in a romantic way. It's all about masculine and feminine, and being strong.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

When I talk with people, I don't even see what they are wearing . . . No, I recognize it if it's something particularly nice and interesting. I see the exception.

I like the irony in my work.

Every day I'm thinking about change.
