I was brought up in Florence, a beautiful medieval town whose rhythm is completely in antiquity.
My philosophy is this: Do not tamper with the anatomy of a woman's body; do not camouflage it.
The best of life is to embark on an adventure with a woman interested in having an adventure with you.
Clothes are designed for the media, because it's a great show.
I spent half my life being hurt. The leftovers of hurt are an automatic gesture, like a dog that salivates.
You might say that I'm the Michelangelo of the dress business.
Every time you choose a perfume, you are voting. And, of course, I hope you vote for me. Not only for my ego, but for my pocketbook. The more you buy, the more money I make.
At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time.
