This is a choice I made 26 years ago when I joined the magazine. Vogue was in Italian but I wanted to speak to everyone so I thought of creating images that were made to talk.

I don't like fashionistas. They only wear the brand. You want to become a fashionista? Easy! Spend money.

Giving back is the new luxury.

My view is not just to find young talents, it's to support them too.

Bloggers now have no concept. They are given things; they put them on, take pictures, and then just disappear from sight. Who cares?

Fashion is a mirror of the era in which we live. Why should the magazine be disconnected from reality? It's not like in the past.

I feel what is in the air. I go with my instinct.

Think of Instagram. Journalism will continue to exist, but communication is now visual.

Today it's normal. Photos used to be a support to the text, but we turned things around, reducing the words to a minimum.

Social media are fundamental to communicate and understand what happens in the world. It's a point of view and an immediate commentary.

Vogue is not a practical magazine, it provides sensations, feeling, moods, you like the photos.

You have to maintain the balance between fast growth and smooth growth. It's like driving a car and knowing when to balance the gas pedal and the brake.

If you're drunk please don't drive. If you're on shrooms please don't think Walmart's a prison for bad clothing that needs help escaping.

What do Judy Garland and Lady Gaga have in common?

The intelligent perusal of fine games cannot fail to make the reader a better player and a better judge of the play of others.

A good woman is a hidden treasure; who discovers her will do well not to boast about it.

I am really very, very tired of everything - more than tired.

Habit is far stronger than the lessons of experience.

Dancing cheek to cheek.

In my life, I have driven some crappy vehicles. But I have never been so desperate for a vehicle that I wanted a used rental car.

Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. We live in a space ship, dear.
