I meet the designers very often, we discuss the products, they show me their ideas, we discuss the ad campaigns and every new invention that we can find for the future.

I think in business, you have to learn to be patient. Maybe I'm not very patient myself. But I think that I've learned the most is be able to wait for something and get it when it's the right time.

Louis Vuitton, the world's biggest luxury brand in terms of sales, is planning to dampen its expansion worldwide and focus on high-end products to preserve its exclusive image.

If you control your distribution, you control your image.

In the luxury business, you have to build on heritage.

From time to time, the Vienna Philharmonic could play without a conductor because they are so good.

I like that combination between creativity and the creative process and the organization needed to make a business like this successful worldwide.
