What the fashion system says and what the fashion customer says are really two different things.

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.

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

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