Florence and art is something that is part of my life and is part of myself.

I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.

In the beginning, I loved being famous, but now I am tired of it and I would like to go back to my freedom.

Fashion should be something that in the morning, when you open your window, you say, "Oh fantastic, sun!" Then you take your shower, you say, "OK fantastic, which colour I wear today because I feel happy?" This should be fashion.

Every girl creates a dream in her mind; everyone needs an idol.

My dream, maybe because of my family, of course, was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles; from textiles I went to fashion.

Israel is in my heart.
