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

I'm interested in the poetry of reality.

I'm not a designer who is very interested in baroque or in fantasy or in the fantastic side of fashion. This exists and this is important, but I'm interested in the very real dimensions.

It's true that I've made mistakes, but I know I shouldn't do them again.

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

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.

With the right team, you can really save so much time and energy. Whereas if you don't have the right environment and the right support from the company, or the right team, it can be extremely tiring and frustrating.
