DOLCE & Gabbana is like my and Domenico Dolce's child. The editing of a collection before a show is a tough call, as we would like to show everything!

For a few days I tweeted with a certain Pippa Middleton, and I really thought it was the Pippa Middleton. Then I discovered it was a fake. But the person who had thought up the concept was nice. It was kind of genius in its own way.

Italians know that what matters is style, not fashion. Italian style does not have social or age boundaries.

It's all a game, with new rules every season.

My summer tip is to taste the freedom given by the long days - and by the holidays!

I think our customers don't need anything. They just want something special. This is why we do collections - not just the Spring fashion show, but the pre - Fall and cruise lines too. The customers love to find something in the shop they don't see in a magazine. This is the trick about the cruise and pre-Fall collections. Nobody knows about them. When you go to the shop, you really find something you don't see anywhere else.

Fashion takes its inspiration from society and everyday life, which is the same for everyone, and this is perhaps the reason why certain elements recur.
