ugly attractive exciting
Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.
beautiful fashion ideas
If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
hard-work way depth
The only way to do something in depth is to work hard.
powerful trying losing
I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity,
want messages sophisticated
You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.
stupid shoes too-much
Craziness in a shoe is great - you can have much more freedom, you can exaggerate and it doesn't feel stupid. But to have too much craziness near your face, that would just feel weird.
hypocrisy example
This is an example of hypocrisy
nostalgia complicated subjects
Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.
clothes should prada
Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.
kids people old-people
The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.
bored challenges doubt
I want to confront myself. I challenge and doubt myself. Basically, what I don't like is to get bored.
beautiful mistake stress
Women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices - a lot of not being their true self.
keys use kind
I am in a key moment. I kind of understand that I have to use my work more completely without being ashamed.
artist names people
Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.
