I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.

The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.

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

I'm not interested in types. I'm interested in archetypes.

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.

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.

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

Image
Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.

Image
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.

In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.
