I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term 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.

Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.

When I talk with people, I don't even see what they are wearing . . . No, I recognize it if it's something particularly nice and interesting. I see the exception.

Image
I'm not interested in how people dress. Of course, I recognize if somebody's elegant. But fashion doesn't interest me.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.

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.

Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.

I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

My family was too serious. They didn't take care of me - it was a very serious and severe life. Not severe in a bad way just boring - like totally neutral. I felt no emotion.

Fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But very little. After all, if you have a serious drama, who cares about the clothes?

I just hate talking about myself.

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.

You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.

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.
