You might say that I'm the Michelangelo of the dress business.

The best of life is to embark on an adventure with a woman interested in having an adventure with you.

At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time.

A healthy mind and body are essential. No excesses. Proper food. The body is like a Rolls-Royce. With care, it could last 200 years. It's a dynamo; the more you use it, the more you recharge it.

Be mobile at all times, even if it causes you suffering or feelings of loneliness. Unless you're willing to do that, you're never going to get the bigger rewards.

A first date should be elegant. In comfortable surroundings. A place with excellent food, where you can talk easily and get to know each other.
