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.
Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.
It's very important for a brand to have an identity through the years, but it's very important as well to evolve because times change so fast.
Feminism is dead in the world. It comes from another time. I'm a feminist. I want to fight, but I don't see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don't help each other, especially in fashion.
The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.
It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
