Alessandro Michele

I love to give voice to things that are not very visible.

The fragments for the past, for me, are not without life.

I'm not conscious of being a revolutionary. This is my life, looking through my glasses at my little world, but this world seems to be full of people who understand it.

I've always been intrigued and fascinated by Gaga. She is a chameleon; she has the capability to fully express her individuality and her eclectic personality by simply being herself.

The only dream I have in my life is to be a little piece of my dad, because he was really happy.

I hate to plan my life.

It has been a marvellous experience and a great gift collaborating with Madonna. Now that I have had the chance to see her working, I truly understand why she is so grand! I believe she is a true artist, and I am crazy about her.

I think we need to dream.

With a brand like Gucci, you have to give something that belongs to beautiful Italian culture in terms of craftsmanship and materials.

I adore the classical pieces of our culture. The Greek and Roman are still inside and everywhere; it's impossible to disconnect.

I never wanted to be a creative director.

I understand that people want to see just the posh side of fashion, but fashion is a lot of work.
