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

The fashion industry now has a direct relationship with its customers. Thanks to things like Twitter, ideas can be shared and circulated.

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.

I like to download as many apps as I can - especially the ones with games and gadgets.

It's always the same - all men and women want to be sexy.

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.
