I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to be a fashion designer.
I've always wanted to be an actress as well as a fashion designer.
I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.
I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.
I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.
I became a fashion designer by accident. I loved to make portrait drawings when I was a teenager, and from that came the interest in what people were wearing and why they were wearing it.
I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.
I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.
I was always interested in fabric, clothes and designing. Maybe I would have been a designer by profession if I didn't start acting.
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
