I do love it, and I am even thinking of making my own pet wear line one day for my foundation, Amore For Dogs.MFM: Your father Sergio Soldano was a world famous clothing and fur designer, how did his success impact your life and your own success in business today?VSF: Growing up in his world of fashion and being surrounded by beautiful famous people all the time made me want to become one of them. I wanted to model and started doing so at a very young age, traveling all over Europe and living a pretty glamorous lifestyle. When my parents divorced, I decided to move to the USA with my mother and still wanted to turn my dreams more into reality. My father taught me by showing me that you can live your dream and passion and be happy forever, because that is how he was, he lived his life for his work; he loved his work so much, even if it was HARD work, LONG hours, and HUGE sacrifices, he was still living his dream. Because of that, he was the happiest man in the world! I think it is not so much about how successful you become, but it is how happy you are at the end of the day, and how much you are happy with yourself and what you have done, knowing you have given 100%. My father will always be my inspiration, and he will always give me the strength I need.MFM: How would you describe your personal style?VSF: I feel our clothes can express our character; I have a very relaxed, comfortable personal style, but then also a very feminine sexy/elegant style; it all really depends on the occasion. I like to wear nice workouts clothes most of the time during the day and when I am running errands, but when I have a special occasion or event to go to I like to look like a movie star at the Academy Awards.Photo Credit: Alex Ardenti | www.alexardenti.com
