I have a lot to learn from designers.

I firmly believe that success lies in the combination of both talent and business savvy, and that the magic comes through partnership between both.

It's important to celebrate the monogram. It's the DNA of Vuitton. I think - I hope - there is an interest in the philosophy and culture of the Vuitton name. It's quite coherent and intellectual, and the products are great. These are things you will want to pass on - things you treasure.

I take care of my daughter, because my family is very important to me.

New talents are the future.

The worlds of art and fashion have always been very intertwined at Dior. Francois-Xavier Lalanne and his wife, Claude, for instance, did windows for Monsieur Dior. Dior himself was a gallerist before becoming the revolutionary fashion designer we all know.

I think an art collection is a lot like a diary. Your taste evolves with time. I try to never sell anything, because its part of my journey.
