I think we all have those particular pieces of clothes that we really like, because it ages well, because it fits you well, because you feel comfortable, and you feel confident in those clothes. All those aspects of good design are what I'm interested in.

Everywhere I've been working, I always had in mind the final destination of the clothes, which is the consumer.

I'm interested in the intimate relationships we can have with those good clothes that we may have in our closets.

I try to bring as much taste, smartness, quality, functionality, and aesthetic qualities to everyday clothes.

At Lacoste, I learned how to drive in a very conservative environment. I had to learn how to do politics, how to talk, how to explain, and how to communicate a vision, and the necessary link between marketing and creative teams. Also, very important, the shop experience, which was actually very frustrating at Lacoste.

Being a head designer or art director or just even a designer, you need a certain level of experience and maturity.

I very much believe in the collective work and the team dynamic.
