During the years I was director of the Palais Galliera—Fashion Museum, a journalist asked me, "If an extraterrestrial came to Paris, what would you show them to make them understand what fashion is?" At that moment, I realized that in the museum I had beautiful clothes by Schiaparelli and Balenciaga, but no jeans, shirts, t-shirts; no garments close to real people's fashion, to the streets. It is also for this reason that I launched the Moda Povera project, to reintroduce something that belongs to daily use into the process of artistic performance. When I then took over my mother's wardrobe, I immediately understood that I had to do something that was not dedicated to fashion, but to garments. I find that today there is a great need to talk about the "art of clothing," rather than talking about fashion. So, finding new alternatives for our passion, which is clothing: inventing new clothes, new forms, without necessarily producing, selling, buying. Finding a new system, which can also be a poetic system. And certainly, more sustainable.
