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.

More quotes by Riccardo Tisci
My definition of beauty is something between extremely ugly and extremely fantastic.
Riccardo Tisci
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.
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
My life has changed financially and I have a name, but I try to never forget people on my journey.
Riccardo Tisci
I am close friends with Marina Abamovich, so I love strong, very aggressive political art. She is like a mom who wants to adopt me.
Riccardo Tisci
I can give a beautiful present, and that may change the lives of people around me.
Riccardo Tisci
I've always been obsessed with things that are half animal and half human - like mermaids and Minotaurs - because they are trapped in an animal body. And I felt trapped in my own life.
Riccardo Tisci
I listen to certain opinions because those are important to me. I am a Leo, so I very much have my feet on the ground, and I know what I want, but there is also a side of me which is a little softer, still a little bit of a boy who has not grown up and who listens a lot.
Riccardo Tisci
The couture client wants the latest things, but she wants the clothes to be super-special - the fabrics won't even touch or go near anything like prêt-à-porter.
Riccardo Tisci
I do the final fitting because the client wants me there. They're not spoilt, they really understand that you're very busy, but they just want you to say what you think - for just ten minutes. They really want to know your opinion because it really is a service at the end of the day, a luxury service.
Riccardo Tisci
For me, darkness is something very beautiful.
Riccardo Tisci
My truth is this: That I don't know what will happen tomorrow because you can never know.
Riccardo Tisci
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.
Riccardo Tisci
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.
Riccardo Tisci
In spite of the fact that everyone thinks I am very much a rottweiler - that i am very dark and everything - I have a side that is very romantic that i show to very few people.
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 love finding new things. I love the conceptual aspect of Antony Hegarty or the voices of those back in the day like Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Ciara. I love what evokes emotion in me.
Riccardo Tisci
The elegance of the Italian South is a very strong elegance and it is one that I bring. It is a sexy elegance - or at least, let's say less chaste.
Riccardo Tisci
I love art and music more than I love fashion, to be honest.
Riccardo Tisci
In the beginning I didn't want to do a menswear collection. It felt a little forced. And then I found that it was an amazing world.
Riccardo Tisci
