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

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

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

Every company, of course, teaches you so much humanly and professionally [about] yourself and your creative process.

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.

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.

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.
