I didn't have a happy childhood.
From Giorgio Armani
There are so many things to take into account - your ambition, your ego, the press, the consumers. You can never be sure that you'll be on top of the pile again.
Actually I am very glad that people can buy Armani - even if it's a fake. I like the fact that I'm so popular around the world.
In practice, I've had a presence in China since 1998 with my commercial spaces and shops.
China approaches fashion with strong enthusiasm. And I believe that this enthusiasm can be translated into something interesting, economically speaking. Not only for my brand, but also for other brands.
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.
You can think you've made it and yet the next day's press will always be waiting for you, the public will always ask more of you. In short, you can always do better!
It is difficult to talk about fashion in the abstract, without a human body before my eyes, without drawings, without a choice of fabric - without a practical or visual reality.
War taught me that not everything is glamorous.
