Creativity is not about the fame.

Snoopy was a philosopher in a way.

I am a collector of jewels, old jewels.

I've been an avid collector since I was a child.

Fashion is the most beautiful illusion you can have.

The way you dress is an expression of your personality.

The fragments for the past, for me, are not without life.

I love to give voice to things that are not very visible.

Vintage is my vocabulary... like the notes of a musician.

To be against something or someone, it's a dangerous thing.

Luxury means that you show the way you dress with eccentricity.

I feel happy when I work. I don't care if tomorrow I will be fired.

The obsession that you have to manage everything - it's really bad.

I love to mix everything together. It's really my way to see beauty.

I usually talk about clothes in terms of a story rather than a colour.

The only urgency I feel is to keep on, at a slow pace, with my journey.

When I started to work at Gucci, I tried literally to destroy everything.

I just try to see what happens when you put your feet on the accelerator.

For me, my way to think about everything in fashion is a very baroque way.

I'm very curious. I feel more comfortable surrounded by people not like me.

It seems only natural to me to present my men's and women's collections together.

There should be no boundaries, no hierarchy, no violence. Men and women are equal.

This is the power of fashion: the capability of allowing people to express themselves.

You have to be open to dreaming. It's a complicated language, but I'm obsessed with it.

I adore pink; it's very powerful. It makes you feel sweet and sexy, also if you are a man.

Westminster is a piece of this city's energy, something the contemporary world has forgotten.

I'm obsessed with trompe l'oeil - the idea of something that is existing and is not existing.

I become mad when I work. It's like a fever that grows; I don't need to choose just one thing.

I am always connected with the Renaissance a lot; that's why I am connected with Pitti Palace.

Gender and sex are about rules which we have invented, but we are animals; we belong to nature.

Fashion is not about product; it's about an interesting idea that you can't resist buying into.

The idea of my fashion shows is that you can't understand where you are; it's something surreal.

The only dream I have in my life is to be a little piece of my dad, because he was really happy.

I love to come to L.A. because it's one of the most inspiring places because there are no rules.

I understand that people want to see just the posh side of fashion, but fashion is a lot of work.

My apartment is full of antique pieces, but I put everything together like a modern installation.

Fashion should be genderless; how people perceive the idea of beauty can vary from one to another.

I always lose every single pencil I ever had. So I can draw with everything. With pencil, with pen.

Trees and flowers are so important. The idea of blooming is the idea of becoming something different.

My idea for Gucci was crazy, but that's the only idea I had. I was sure I'd be fired after the first show.

I grew up with a father who didn't wear a watch, and this has permanently marked my relationship with time.

Beauty has no boundaries, no rules, no colors. Beauty is like a religion. You can include everything inside it.

The future is not so interesting for me because the future doesn't exist. I am really focused on the contemporary.

Some women are forced by men to look a certain way to be accepted by the general public, and I find that terrible.

The idea that a man should be wearing something different and more eccentric is obviously the oldest idea on earth.

Here in L.A., people really open their houses in an easy way, nothing too complicated. You can go in your flip-flops.

I love couture, but the other side of me loves the street, and I think the mix of these two can create something new.

My father was a shaman. He told me that time doesn't exist. He didn't use a clock. He didn't know when my birthday was.

All of us, we are not one thing: we're always between two worlds, and the idea of not being sure is very appealing to me.

For me, fashion is something that makes you feel alive, that expresses something of you: if you are sad, if you are happy.
