I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.

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

The fashion world is very active and generous, despite the fact that it is not very well respected - or at least not as much as it should be.

Girls throw away so much energy in this search for beauty and sexiness.

Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.
