I don't want to say temporary, because temporary is such a trendy word.

I would say there is no Prada woman. I'm interested in women in general. I don't have any kind of preference.

Fashion is an instant language.

The younger generations have their own ideas, they have their own projects. When they talk, I am always surprised how much more lucid and cultivated they are and how they see things in a way that is much more complex than, for example, other generations did.

I'm not interested in types. I'm interested in archetypes.

Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.

One's life and passion may be elsewhere, but New York is where you prove if what you think in theory makes sense in life.
