During the eighties and nineties, people wanted to be chic, elegant, bourgeois.
I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.
Many young people don't know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.
My muse changes all the time because I think every designer is a bit of a muse for themselves in a way - they just don't want to say it.
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.
I think sex is part of life, like eating and breathing.
For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.
