CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI

I am thrilled to be working with Gucci and especially happy to be playing a part in their timely return to the equestrian world.

Personally, fresh air and exercise help me stay healthy and make me feel great!

I'm not a princess. My mother is, not I. I am the niece of a head of state. And with this status, I have some representational duties - nothing very constraining or very exceptional.

I'm not one to experiment with lip colors. I tend to go for either red or a soft pink.

I've always refused to associate myself with a brand.

It's very important to feel good in my clothes. I like fashion that suits me. I don't take it too seriously.

When I ride, I always like to look neat.

Riding clothes are ageless and timeless, and I love to incorporate that comfort and elegance in my life.

I'm never afraid of using bold colors or glitter or a stronger lipstick.

Riding uses so many different muscles. I ride two to three horses a day, and I ride almost every day when I'm not working or traveling. You use your legs, your arms, your back. It's a very complete sport.

It's very important to feel good in my clothes. I like fashion that suits me. I don't take it too seriously.

I need both to feel good: the energy of the city and the quietness of the country.

Eventing is way too dangerous. People get killed every year doing cross-country.

Competing in show jumping is a school of life. And it's one of the few Olympic sports where men and women are equal.

Being a great horseman does not rely on physical strength but more on the mind and sensibility.

I do not represent any product or any collection.

I am fortunate in having people around me who protect me.

I'm never afraid of using bold colors or glitter or a stronger lipstick.

I started to ride when I was very young, and it's a sport I have practised for a very long time.

Although I tend to favor a natural look, I also like to have fun with makeup.

To have a natural, healthy glow, you need to spend as much time as you can outside - if you stay locked up in an office, it can take a toll on your mind and body.

A manifesto is different from a magazine.

When I ride, I always like to look neat.

I've been riding since I was maybe three or four. Ponies at first, and then I've really always been doing it since.

I've always refused to associate myself with a brand.

I have no particular formula for staying private.

It is natural for me not to explain my private life or to answer any questions about my private life.

It's not a question of size, of whether it's a small or a big thing, but of what it has the power to incarnate.

Riding uses so many different muscles. I ride two to three horses a day, and I ride almost every day when I'm not working or traveling. You use your legs, your arms, your back. It's a very complete sport.

It is a real pleasure to collaborate with Frida Giannini and Gucci to celebrate one of the House's most elegant symbols: the horsebit.
