More quotes by Riccardo Tisci
In prêt-à-porter now we understandably need to make the collection satisfy the big market more, so couture is extra special.
Riccardo Tisci
I was lucky. From the time I was a little, I was always surrounded by women, and I am very attracted to the feminine world, because I love the strength and romanticism, which in the end, you can find in my style.
Riccardo Tisci
Anything I do, I do with my heart. This is why I sometimes get very upset or sometimes get very personal when I'm working.
Riccardo Tisci
I tried to never exclude people. I know what it means to be left out.
Riccardo Tisci
This is why I decided to work with Nike, too, because it is even more mass-market than Givenchy and could make entry-price shoes and make people dream to be part of the journey.
Riccardo Tisci
My luck has always been how I've had a family of women around me, and I have women who are very close to me - for example, Mariacarla Boscono, Carine Roitfeld, Marina Abramovic. I have different women whom I adore and value.
Riccardo Tisci
This is very much part of my style, I work a lot on the back - I love the back of clothes for men. I love even T-shirts printed behind. I think, Why do you want to show only the front?
Riccardo Tisci
We didn't have a television, so we sat around the table, and me and my sisters and my mom would do these jobs, like, a penny for a piece, you know, these paper jobs. You know, what really saved me as a human today is my sisters and my mom.
Riccardo Tisci
I didn't know I was going to become a designer I was going to become a successful person, but I really wanted to be free.
Riccardo Tisci
My mom didn't teach me about Marco Polo. She didn't teach me about Napoleon. She didn't teach me about any of that. But she did teach me how to survive and to be a good person. And you need to be a strong woman to do that. She's the biggest person in my life. She's my Virgin Maria. That's why I love religion so much.
Riccardo Tisci
With couture you have faithfulness - people are faithful to you. In couture, you will see that the cut looks like a lace dress from a distance, but it's only when you get nearer you understand that it's layers of lace, hand stitched in a certain shape, all the work - the zips, the buttons, the hooks... it goes on.
Riccardo Tisci
For me, aesthetically, Donatella Versace represent what the Italian woman is. There is always the American rock thing, the aristocratic, above-the-rest British manner, but Italy is at the heart of it.
Riccardo Tisci
My truth is this: That I don't know what will happen tomorrow because you can never know.
Riccardo Tisci
My definition of beauty is something between extremely ugly and extremely fantastic.
Riccardo Tisci
Sex is something I live very well, but it is something I revealed very slowly in my fashion. What I do is emotional. For me, there is a base, which is my Italian roots. It's a strong passion for fashion, a passion for sensuality and dressing for one's self.
Riccardo Tisci
My friends were like, Oh, this weekend, we're going to go shopping. Oh, this weekend I'm going to go to see the judo champion ... you know. And I couldn't do anything.
Riccardo Tisci
I arrived here, with a destroyed house, with nothing. I had to do everything very slowly. And with a little team and a great president, we achieved a lot. I am happy here. For now, it is still Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, and I think that it will be for a long time, because it will be difficult to evict me from my house. I feel good here!
Riccardo Tisci
For me, darkness is something very beautiful.
Riccardo Tisci
My relationship with religion is very strong because it was my hope, and it gave me two things very important in my life. It gave me the belief and it gave me a point to reach: Don't do something bad to the people next to you.
Riccardo Tisci
There are some people whom I esteem and want their opinion first, but that's my way. It is difficult for me to delegate. In the end, I do have two or three people on my team who I listen to.
Riccardo Tisci
