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.

In the States, entrepreneurs inspire a lot of people and are respected for creating jobs. That makes people dream and feel happy for their country.

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.

I try to visit stores because it's important to meet the teams and to hear the comments of the salespeople.

When you're a young talent, and you want to launch your brand, you always have tons of questions: Where should I produce? Should I launch a second line? Should I do shoes, accessories? If you have someone who can coach you and give you advice and help you find the right supplier, it's a big help.

That's what's good about life - that you always learn.

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