important dresses needs
You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.
fashion ideas aesthetics
I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.
fashion intellectual answers
Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.
fashion art doubt
Maybe nothing is art”, maybe everything is or could be art. To that, no doubt she would have responded like she did in the installation: “The term [artist] itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.
art reality interest
What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.
thinking ideas design
Designing for me is a very complex process. There are many ideas that I want to express in one object, very often contradictory. The creative process in Miu Miu is completely different from that of Prada. Miu Miu is not as complicated and thought out as Prada. Rather than being young, Miu Miu is immediate Prada is very sophisticated and considered; Miu Miu is much more naive. The solution, when I am working on Miu Miu, has to come immediately, instinctively, spontaneously with whatever is available at the moment. If I think three times, I stop.
effort different daring
Daring to wear something different takes effort.
beautiful intelligent clothes
I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.
fashion art jobs
We, as designers, have a job with so many possibilities and connections. We are connected to so many different portals, from art to movies to music to design. Fashion is always evolving. Actually, the field is huge. I don't think there is another profession that is so open to so many possibilities.
want world embrace
You have to embrace the world if you want to live in it now.
firsts different wanted
I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.
fashion communication people
What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.
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.
ideas interesting ugly
Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human.
