I Like To Think That I Can

The Human Body Is Something That I Truly Love, Above All Else.

Being Famous Very Often Means Sacrificing Your Privacy And That Of Others. You Have To Impose On Those Close To You A Pace And Lifestyle That Might Be A Bigger Sacrifice For Others Than It Is For You.

Through Fashion I Have Shown My Interpretation Of The Competitive Spirit By Dressing Sportsmen And Women, Choosing To Work With Both Those Who Are Among The World's Most Renowned Athletes And Also Those Who Are Yet To Achieve Fame In The Arena Of Sport.

Retailing Has Become Fiercely Competitive. Today There Are Many Large Global Fashion Companies Who Have Opened Up Mono-brand Stores In Major Cities Around The World. When I First Opened My Boutique In New York, In 1985, There Were Almost No Other European Luxury Brands Present With Their Own Stores. Now Fifth Avenue Is Packed With Huge Stores From Major Italian And French Labels.

It Is A Fact That, In The West, We Live In A Capitalist Society, But That Does Not Mean That We Cannot Be Guided By The Idea Of A Social Conscience In Our Work. Yes, Fashion Design Requires Consumers To Consume, But We Can Do Our Bit For Society By Running Our Companies In A Socially Responsible Way, And By Creating Products That Promote Respect For Social And Environmental Issues. There Is Also The Possibility For Power And Influence To Be A Force For Change.
