Gianni created the whole thing. I came later and helped him.
I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.
You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.
I studied at a university in Florence and finished my degree. My mother was very strict about this recipe: You need to get your degree.
I love Alexander McQueen. I like the construction of his suits. I think it's fantastic.
Haven't you heard? I sleep every night in the deep freezer!
I think I asphyxiated my children.
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
To be Catholic puts a lot of fear in you. It's a great religion, but also one that can limit your experience. You fear experience because everything is a sin.
I don't like my physique at all.
I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I'd wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.
It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.
Alexander McQueen... The fashion world has not only lost an icon but we have also lost a very special friend.
I've learned how to appreciate what I have. And it's a lot. I'm very lucky.
