You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.

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

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

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.

I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.

We will always buy clothes because they let us live our dreams.
