Diversity and inclusion, which are the real grounds for creativity, must remain at the center of what we do.

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.

The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices. That’s what I want to put into Gucci.

Fashion must be amusing, modern and fun. But it is important for the designer to have knowledge, not only of the couture, but also to have knowledge of history and art. I love old and elegant things like the 18th century, but one must be today.
