Quote

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.

I think my heart is in a very good place. And I think this is why I'm achieving what I've been asking to do in the universe for so long.

No matter how much people in fashion think we're so cool and avant-garde, for most fashion people, creativity is quite taboo.

My life has changed financially and I have a name, but I try to never forget people on my journey.

I come from a very poor family, with sisters. I never really knew my father, so I miss this strong image of a man in my life.

When I started, everyone said couture was finished and I was so scared. Actually I was more terrorized than scared. I was arriving from a provincial area of Italy. They called me in to do Givenchy and I just thought, Wow.

I am super-Italian, not even European - Italian. And this is very precise. It's like houses. Over time they stabilize themselves in the terrain. I am still at the first step of a long staircase.

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.

My obsession when I was kid, from '85 into the '90s, was Gianni Versace. It was Helmut Lang. It was Margiela. So I said, I cannot have Givenchy only as a luxury house I'm going to introduce products for everybody, things that are reachable.

I was a very nice boy. I was well-educated ... very Catholic family. So I was very respectful, never late at work. I was always the last one to leave. It's always been that way in my life.

Image
I always think about the streets because that's where I come from and that's where I'm going to die one day. That is my life.

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.

We are Italian. We are all little tribes - not only in fashion, but also in music - in everything, basically.

Couture was only for rich people. Givenchy was for rich people. A bag cost 5,000 euro a coat cost 10,000 euro. In the beginning, I couldn't react. I was just working like a machine, because I wanted to make the house happy.

I'm very well off but I can stay with normal people. I can do a super-luxury life, but I can do a very normal life and I'm not scared.

I used to hate to go to school, because when it was Friday afternoon and everybody was finished school, I knew I was going to work Saturday and Sunday.

Couture is emotion. Couture is freedom. Couture is not thinking about pricing and not thinking about craziness. You can do whatever you want to do in couture.

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?

For me, darkness is something very beautiful.

I love art and music more than I love fashion, to be honest.

What I very much admire about the Versace maison, and what I am still trying to learn to do myself as I am still young, is that from day one until today, Versace is the peak of sexy but never crosses that red line into the vulgar.
