I tried to never exclude people. I know what it means to be left out.
Riccardo Tisci
Image
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
Image
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.
Riccardo Tisci
Image
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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

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

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
In prêt-à-porter now we understandably need to make the collection satisfy the big market more, so couture is extra special.

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.
