Zitat des Tages von Francisco Costa:
I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.
Right after high school, I moved to Rio and took classes to become a technician for a manufacturing factory where you had to figure out how to produce 3,000 pairs of jeans. But in Rio, I was by myself, which was very liberating, being so young. I got to do my own thing.
My love of fashion stemmed from my mother's passion for it.
Rio was a period of my life, and then, poof, I'm gone. I was very young living here, just kind of floating. New York was a foundation for everything I do today. Rio was the bridge.
I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.
You think 24-7 when you're a creative person. And I find pleasure in everything - if I'm in a flea market, I'm there on my downtime, but I'm also there searching for the collection. I don't separate the two.
I think the women that we dress, the women who buy our clothes, they have a certain strength. It could be about the clothes, it could be about themselves. It's just attractive.
People don't really go to museums in Rio. I shouldn't say it's not sophisticated, but, you know, they go to the beach.
I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.
I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise, it's just not fashion.
Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.
Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing.
