Im lucky that its about fashion and perfume and cosmetics. If my father had owned a tire company, I dont know what I would have done.

Competition, of course there's always competition, and I like competition.

When I need to relax, I love to go to the movies or watch a good TV series. I also practice a lot of sport, mostly tennis and swimming.

I have a lot to learn from designers.

Clients are becoming more and more savvy. They know what's happening in the brands; they know the new products that are coming out.

I have a passion for modern and contemporary art. I spend a lot of time in museums; I particularly like the Guggenheim, MoMA in New York or LACMA and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, for example. I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open.

Technology gives big access, and you get more people who are interested in fashion. You can reach many more people now.
