Luca Mainini: At first I began creating collages, but in the last few years I've evolved to GIFs.How often do you create GIFs?
Depending on the day, between two and 20 collages.What magazines do you like to use for reference?
Vogue Italia, Marie Claire, Elle, and Vanity Fair Italia are my favorite. I'll also go to Milan to the newsstand and choose magazines I like the best right now.What are your favorite things you look for when cutting from a magazine?
I love girls, so I mainly like to use girls in my work. I like legs, lips, lipstick, high heels, wigs, hair, and dresses.

I don't like heads. I like using lips for the face and cut out random pieces for the body.What is your process like?
I take the pictures I like from the magazine, make collages on paper, and then scan and import them into the computer. When I create GIFs, I always listen to music. The process is how watching a fashion show makes me feel: "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"What type of music do you listen to when you are making these GIFs?
It all depends on how I feel and can range from Bach to Lady Gaga. I like 90s music a lot. Today, I listened to "King of My Castle" by Chris Brann.

Not really music as much as movies. I put on my favorite directors when I want to get inspired.Who is you favorite director?
David Lynch is my favorite. Patricia Arquette in Lost Highway and that hair – very sexy! I'm also very inspired by Roman Polanski's films.What is it about movies that's so inspiring?
I love the women of Lynch's movies and am also inspired by the vintage fashion.Vintage fashion?
Yes. I like to collect vintage 70s dolls and telephones.

No, I've been collecting Barbies since I was 18 and then moved on to 70s dolls. I like creepy dolls. I have one that is like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre baby. And I have a Twiggy one too.Do you have names for them?
No, that would be too creepy.How many dolls and telephones do you have in total?
In my home, I only have five or six – but overall, I have about 20. And I have a collection of about 30 vintage telephones.So it's safe to say you're a 70s person?
Yes, I'm a very 70s person. I like all things 70s – from the way I decorate my apartment to the things I collect and am inspired by – except for 70s dresses.

I want to create a BOOM-like effect when people look at my site.It definitely gives off a powerful feeling. Do you think this reflects your personality at all?
I don't know, maybe part of my personality. I'm really quiet, not a crazy person like what is seen in my GIFs. But I feel that fashion gives off the same feeling as my site.Which one of your GIFs best describes your personality?
Not sure, but would have to include wigs, telephones, and pills.Follow Miyako on Twitter.
