Miuccia Prada

I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.

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

I wanted to try to push some freedom into the men's clothes.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
