My muse changes all the time because I think every designer is a bit of a muse for themselves in a way - they just don't want to say it.
You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can't expect years and years of it.
Women are all the same; we want to be smaller in the waist, longer legs, slimmer. I design for women and their defects, to make them better.
I know who the Versace woman is, because I wear the clothes myself.
You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.
I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.
