I like to dress egos. If you haven't got an ego today, you can forget it.

It's nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better.

Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.

I learned to work with my mother, who had an haute-couture business.

At the beginning of my career, it was very hard to go up. Now, it's very hard to stay on top. You have to stay there, and I want to stay there so badly. I'm still standing.

The environment was so strong, so dramatic. Tragedy is all over Calabria; it's in the air. All this corresponds to my temperament.

I want to see my niece and nephew grow up, to see their children... I get crazy at the idea that a time will come when I won't see Daniel and Allegra anymore.

In those days, when I was a little kid, I met the truer more authentic people of my life. The men were so pure, strong, honest, and faithful unto death – with an incredible sense of respect for a boss.

Women are more sure of themselves today. They don’t have to emulate the way men dress.
