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

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.

Many of us grew up with a kind of puritanism against shopping. But shopping can be much more than how it is cast. If you are bored or you have problems, it can be a way of lifting your spirits, by doing something light and superficial. Why not?

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.

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

One's life and passion may be elsewhere, but New York is where you prove if what you think in theory makes sense in life.

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

Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.

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

Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder.

Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted.

I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.

When you want to do something that is challenging or interesting or new, you never find the place. All the places are obvious or old or generic. And so you realize that the role of architecture is fundamental.

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.

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.
