Are there any places in New York that you really want to stop at before you go back home?
"Well, we have a new shop in Meatpacking for the Edition collection. The building is really special — it's the pointed building by Gansevoort. I think it's beautiful, and yesterday was the first time I saw it in person. It's really amazing. We always collaborate with artists for the ready-to-wear collection but also for special projects. The elements of this shop are really industrial and flexible, and so we presented those elements to the artists in our warehouse in Milan, and we recreated the shop. They did pictures and painted and they did an installation. Then, they did a picture of this installation, and that picture was the work paper for the shop. It's nice to see. What's really important for us when collaborating with an artist is to do the project together. We don't want them to do a project for us."

Right, because that's why you pick them in the first place, right?
"Yes."
