< p > Maria Grazia Chiuri & Pier Paolo

Piccioli: the key word is advanced customization.

Because we want to put the advanced customization elements in the main series, we believe that men's dressing tastes are changing. They want tradition, but they also need attitude. What they want is a proper version.

So this requires a balance between advanced customization and casual wear.

< /p >

< p > pencil pants with barefoot combinations are very out of place. Does this reflect the aesthetic principle of "tradition meets attitude"? < /p >

< p > it reflects a subversive design for traditional advanced customization. It is also elegant, but it is interpreted in a more subtle way.

We don't want the feeling of a playboy. Elegance can be expressed in a completely new way.

Nowadays men are fascinated by perfection. We hope to give them a perfect representation from the aesthetic form.

This series is designed for low-key people. It is about personal elegance and self appreciation.

< /p >

< p > do you think the fashion in Italy and Britain is very different? What about the male consumers in these two markets? < /p >

< p > generally speaking, men are the same.

Perhaps the British will be more courageous. They are more likely to touch the trendy things in London.

It may take some time to think in Italy, but people in London are very open-minded.

But Romans are very different from Londoners in fashion. They are more like the British Brick.

Lane people.

Would it be a little bit stressful to take over the design of Valentino three years ago? < /p > p

< p > - we hardly have time to feel stressed! All of our experience is at work.

Mr. Garavani thinks that we should follow our own personal aesthetics and stick to our own views. This is also our philosophy in our work.

< /p >

< p > as a joint design director, what is the driving force for working together? < /p >

< p > there is no obvious distinction between our roles, though we are indeed two people with different views.

We communicate through a series of opinion exchanges, which is really better than mutual restriction.

< /p >

< p > Fendi has been designing handbags for 10 years. What brings you to Valentino? /p?

< p > because we want to work with Mr. Valentino and Mr. Giammetti, that is a myth.

If you are passionate about fashion, you have to love Valentino. First of all, he is a tailor, then a designer, and ultimately a brand.

We love the charm of Valentino and its historical elements. It has become part of our personality. We are Romans and Italians. Valentino is to us just like Yves.

Saint Laurent is for French people.
