time
I don't have the time to be bored.
work
What I can say is that there are some collections that come easily, and others that require more work.
five life ok rest six
Fashion is OK for five days, one minute, six months, but style is for the rest of the life.
days few knew quickly realise realising rooted understood until
I had a few problems. I didn't realise it until I started going to therapy. I did it for 10 years, two days a week, and pretty quickly I understood that a lot of my suffering, many of my issues, were rooted in my realising that I was gay when I was a little boy. I knew I was different. That made me very fragile.
life
In life you need to take a risk.
dress fixed jacket job loved mini mum red suit time totally trousers wig wigs
My mum is totally crazy for fashion still. Her job was as a laundress, but I loved it when she would dress up in her red suit with a mini jacket and flared trousers and get her wig fixed at the hairdresser's - it was the time of wigs - and we would go shopping.
behind culture european heads leaders men power powerful strong women
We don't think only men can be powerful and strong. Behind the heads of the Mafia, the leaders of culture, there are always very strong women. European culture is a matriarchy, especially in the south. The women have a lot of power.
black life three tie worn
In my whole life, I've worn black tie three times. I can't tie the knot myself.
says
What the fashion system says and what the fashion customer says are really two different things.
bit deal dreams energy great
Dreams can still come true; you need a great deal of energy and determination, and a little bit of luck.
family good information love sex start talk talked talking
I never talked about homosexuality with my family. After I was 18, they know everything, but I never talk; it was like an information but in silence. I start to talk when I was 32, it was good for me - it was like a liberation. I'm talking about a love story. I'm not talking about sex because love is love.
clear hard message people work
You have to work very hard behind the scenes, to make a message clear enough for a lot of people to understand.
alone although autographs bodyguards drive famous milan stopped
I drive around on my scooter in Milan alone - we don't have bodyguards or anything like that. I am a fashion designer, not a celebrity, and although I get stopped for autographs and the like, I don't think I am famous.
femininity military romantic
It's a kind of femininity that is different from before. The military look, but in a romantic way.
