I'm not interested in how people dress. Of course, I recognize if somebody's elegant. But fashion doesn't interest me.

Designing for me is a very complex process. There are many ideas that I want to express in one object, very often contradictory. The creative process in Miu Miu is completely different from that of Prada. Miu Miu is not as complicated and thought out as Prada. Rather than being young, Miu Miu is immediate Prada is very sophisticated and considered; Miu Miu is much more naive. The solution, when I am working on Miu Miu, has to come immediately, instinctively, spontaneously with whatever is available at the moment. If I think three times, I stop.

For me, it's important to anticipate where fashion is heading.

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

Seduction is a matter of feelings and people opening themselves. I don't think it's something tricky - it's being human. And everybody is seduced by something different.

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

What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.
