That's always my downfall - when I start not having fun or not feeling passionate about what I'm doing. But that's why I love Emilio Pucci. There are some design houses that operate on a more intellectual level, but the way Pucci has always worked is more spontaneous and instinctual.

That's always my downfall - when I start not having fun or not feeling passionate about what I'm doing. But that's why I love Emilio Pucci. There are some design houses that operate on a more intellectual level, but the way Pucci has always worked is more spontaneous and instinctual.

I'm really working on trying to get that lifestyle aspect of the Emilio Pucci house to be as strong as possible.

I'm not intellectual at all as a designer. Whatever I'm into at the moment is usually what becomes the collection.

In order to be successful, you have to honor what's in old fashion house, but you also have to play with it and push the limits of it.

Florence is probably one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. It's very quiet as well - there's not much nightlife - so it definitely keeps me focused on the work.

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.

Zig Ziglar Author

What does my taste have to do with the personality of the person I'm working for? It's taking them through a journey of exposing them to stuff, and being able to form a dialogue between the place where they live and themselves. Other than trying to match the curtains to the couch, I don't know how to do that. If somebody asked me to design a really beautiful room, I don't know how to do that.

Yes, I share your concern: how to program well -though a teachable topic- is hardly taught. The situation is similar to that in mathematics, where the explicit curriculum is confined to mathematical results; how to do mathematics is something the student must absorb by osmosis, so to speak. One reason for preferring symbol-manipulating, calculating arguments is that their design is much better teachable than the design of verbal/pictorial arguments. Large-scale introduction of courses on such calculational methodology, however, would encounter unsurmoutable political problems.

Edsger Dijkstra Computer Scientist

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures.

Tom Peters Writer

For me, typography is a triangular relationship between design idea, typographic elements, and printing technique.

Wolfgang Weingart Graphic Designer

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Steve Jobs Entrepreneur
