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.

At Hermès I learned, maybe more than anywhere else, how to work around a legacy, and how to integrate a strong brand culture into my work. Also, to work with a completely different projection system and craftsmanship.

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

Even in the good sportswear, streetwear brands, you can't find that quality.

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

If I really think about what drove me from the beginning to become a designer, it is really the idea of trying to make everyday life a little bit better - to make it more functional, more desirable, to improve quality of life somehow.

I'm trying just to do good clothes, clothes that you need as much as you want.
