Fashion needs fresh blood, and London is the most creative place for that.
I know who the Versace woman is because I wear the clothes myself.
Powerful women intimidate men. If she's a really well-known woman, she has a career, she's famous - in that case, men are really afraid.
You can be too boring, but you can never be too seductive.
Let's just say beauty inspires me. But I like all beauty - I think it really comes from the inside out.
You can never forget the time you are living in because the past is the past and it will never come back. So to adjust your philosophy and creativity in fashion to the time you’re living in is the most important thing.
I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.
I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I’m already thinking glamour.
I am not a great believer in fairy tales. Every woman should fight hard for her own happy endings. Although occasionally it is nice to wake up as a princess.
Women's bodies are curvy, sensual, it's about being happy to be a woman - and sexy is always good
There's time to slow down, after you're dead.
We shouldn't be copying what we see. We should try to find our own sense of style, to believe in ourselves.
In fashion, only sexy won’t go out of fashion.
Wear a fabulous smile, great jewelry and know that you are totally and utterly in control.
