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.

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

I'm interested in the poetry of reality.

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

Let's forget about themes and mood boards. Let's start from a different point of view. You have to leave for two months all of a sudden. What would you put in your suitcase? What are the twenty essential pieces that you will need and how would you design it to be cool, and you'll want to wear it?

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

Let's try to bring more style into basics, and let's touch real people all around the world, people who don't really care who Christophe Lemaire is.
