I become mad when I work. It's like a fever that grows; I don't need to choose just one thing.
Creativity is not about the fame.
The idea that I'm 45 doesn't mean that I have no creativity. I'm like a student it's the same - it's not a war!
My idea for Gucci was crazy, but that's the only idea I had. I was sure I'd be fired after the first show.
I just try to see what happens when you put your feet on the accelerator.
Fashion is not about product; it's about an interesting idea that you can't resist buying into.
The only urgency I feel is to keep on, at a slow pace, with my journey.
Fashion should be genderless; how people perceive the idea of beauty can vary from one to another.
The future is not so interesting for me because the future doesn't exist. I am really focused on the contemporary.
I love to mix everything together. It's really my way to see beauty.
If you have rules, you let creativity sleep.
I love to give voice to things that are not very visible.
In L.A., I feel God more than I do in a church.
The obsession that you have to manage everything - it's really bad.
There should be no boundaries, no hierarchy, no violence. Men and women are equal.
I am a collector of jewels, old jewels.
I am always connected with the Renaissance a lot; that's why I am connected with Pitti Palace.
I am obsessed with fashion, like my mother, and I am obsessed with art, like my father.
I don't feel the pressure of the market - otherwise, I wouldn't be able to work.
I don't have a problem to say I am a good merchandiser, because I love objects.
I feel happy when I work. I don't care if tomorrow I will be fired.
I grew up with a father who didn't wear a watch, and this has permanently marked my relationship with time.
I hate to plan my life.
I have a big passion for flowers and nature.
I have the soul of a director.
I like it when I see people dressed on the street, and it looks like Gucci, but it's not. It means you are doing something right.
I love couture, but the other side of me loves the street, and I think the mix of these two can create something new.
I love just a stage.
