Doriana Fuksas

Architect, mother of Lavinia and Elisa. «I have a degree in art history. I did fresco restoration for a long time, and because of that, I spent a lot of time away from home. I got a degree in architecture to support my husband and spend more time together». About herself, she says: «I am very sincere and always say what I think». On style: «I love Japanese fashion, with its essential and clean lines. I love to dress in black, and more than the color, I choose fabrics that go well together, the weight of the material, the transparencies, the shiny, the opaque. I do it instinctively. My favorite colors? Black and also white, but not always. I am attracted to red. I like to draw on yellow paper and use a green brush».

«"A great talent without courage goes nowhere; a much more modest talent with a lot of courage and determination can go far." This is the phrase that Ornella Vanoni told me at the end of the docufilm "Senza fine" that we took to the Venice Film Festival and in which she was the protagonist. That night she was very tired and angry with me because I made her do something she didn't want to do, which was to jump into a pool dressed as a mermaid. But I think she wanted to compliment me in the end». On style: «I love to simplify, I like rigor, because then there is the character that I have to keep in check. My style is a form of thermodynamics between the inside and the outside. When there is too much energy inside, I am rigorous outside; the style lives by subtraction, it almost disappears».

«I design jewelry; I've loved stones since I was a child». About family: «From my parents, I learned that to get what you want, you have to work very hard. It takes dedication, determination, and love. We posed on a boxing ring because we clash a lot, it's always a struggle between us. But it all stems from a great foundation of love and protection for each other». On style: «I don't use the word uniform, which makes everyone the same. I prefer the word outfit, which implies diversity, division. For me, it has to give me confidence. I love jackets and men's blazers. And then jewelry, because it adds light. From morning to night, depending on the jewelry you wear, you can change your style in an instant».
