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.

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.

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.

For me, the fashion show, the image, the shooting, is just a step. It's just a moment, but it's not the final destination.

[There are] so many things I've learned, and I'm still learning, actually.

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