Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.

I am very happy at Givenchy and it is a moment in which I am bringing the game to the next level. I feel at home. It's as if it were my son. I don't know how to explain it. It would be very difficult for me to leave.

I believe that couture is not about shocking.

For me, fashion is a job. I love it. It's my passion. But the most important thing for me in general is life.

The elegance of the Italian South is a very strong elegance and it is one that I bring. It is a sexy elegance - or at least, let's say less chaste.

My relationship with religion is very strong because it was my hope, and it gave me two things very important in my life. It gave me the belief and it gave me a point to reach: Don't do something bad to the people next to you.

I think my heart is in a very good place. And I think this is why I'm achieving what I've been asking to do in the universe for so long.
