For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.
When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.
I don't think about making sexy clothes. It's just my instinct to make them.
Some say the economy means that you have to persuade people to invest in clothes - to buy less things but more expensive things. I disagree - invest in jewelry, or a house, maybe, but not in fashion.
I know who the Versace woman is because I wear the clothes myself.
I love the mix of people who hang out at nightclubs now. Their individuality is an inspiration to me. The music they listen to, the clothes they wear and the way they wear them defines a street style that I love.
I love London - it has so much energy.
this fabric existed, but in different colors, darker, masculine -- like black and yellow. So we decided to reprint it in lilac and pink for me.
(Demi) is a woman who has kids, who has a career and still looks amazing first thing in the morning. No wonder she has such a gorgeous man by her side. She looks just as sexy in a pair of jeans and a sweater as she does in an evening dress that is my idea of a woman.
She needs a vacation. She's worked so so hard for so many years. She's a young girl and she's a little tired.
There are too many beautiful and talented women ?and let's not forget the men ? to choose from.
My favorite pantsuit is done in cherry color and all this is a very classic fabric with, like, a bustier, ... Very, very sexy.
It's good to see the children be creative. It's the pleasure of the future.
My main influence is - it's music. It lifts the spirit. I am always listening to music. And sometimes what inspires me is a little sound or some small arrangement. I really do listen to music continuously all day long - very loud, so people can't stand to be around me anymore.
