How do you feel when talking about issues involving the sexual nature of human beings? Perhaps, curiosity and doubt are two of the words that run through your mind. When addressing such a topic, we should always talk clearly and consciously. With that in mind, Gucci and The Sex Ed hasjoined forces in an incredible collaboration for the third season of podcasts produced by the platform of the same name.

“When people ask me about sex, I usually say that it depends on what you think about sex, the idea of sex is the idea of God, the idea of sex is the idea of energy, it is the idea of being in touch with people things that make me feel alive ”, said the designer.

The designer also said some pretty notable things, such as, "when i dress a guy like a granny, he becomes sexy."

In addition to Alessandro Michele, Liz also chatted with some guests minutes before the first episode.

“I'm so excited to be partnering with Gucci for the third season of The Sex Ed podcast. Fashion, beauty and sex are natural partners. As Jean Cocteau once wrote, 'human beings in their essence only want three things: shelter, food and sex. All this fashion makes people think that dresses are used to be worn. No ... the most beautiful dresses are used to be taken off. ''
