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

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

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.

This is what I've always been interested in, trying to make timeless, functional, real clothes.

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.

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

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