Actually I am very glad that people can buy Armani - even if it's a fake. I like the fact that I'm so popular around the world.
Style is having the courage of one's choices and the courage to say no. It's good taste and culture.
When I go on my boat or to my vacation houses, where I still unfortunately spend very little time, I don't go with the celebrities I know but with a close group of friends and people who have worked with me for a long time.
Remember that, in the end, the customer doesn't know, or care, if you are small or large as an organization - she or he only focuses on the garment hanging on the rail in the store.
Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.
I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting.
My philosophy has always been to help women and men feel comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear.
Elegance is not about being noticed, its about being remembered.
Eliminate the superfluous.
My strong sense of discipline has always been with me, and it also gave me the need for deep affection. I have never been satisfied with acquaintances who are superficial, volatile, or quick to change. I have surrounded myself with people with whom I am in total complicity.
Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day. They can completely change the look of an outfit, and women like the idea of having a wardrobe that's versatile. For instance, a strong piece of jewelry can make a simple outfit look elegant.
Movies always fascinated me. They are an endless source of inspiration. There are countless images by great directors that made a profound impression on me, and I see film as a sublime example of teamwork.
Elegance is not to be noticed, but to be remembered.
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
