I have a passion for modern and contemporary art.

At LVMH, we have amazing heritage brands, and we put interesting talents in those brands, sometimes very young, like we did at Givenchy with Riccardo Tisci at the time, or like we just did with J.W. Anderson at Loewe, but also talents that are already further along in their careers, like Raf Simons at Christian Dior or Nicolas at Vuitton.

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.

To make an idea become a reality is a process that fascinates me; otherwise it stays just an idea.

Its always important to invest in young talents and the talents of tomorrow.

When you face a creative change at the house, you have to start a dialogue, and talk with the designer about how he envisions the brand to make sure that you're on the same page. It's the way the designers talk about the brand, and what they see, and their emotions, how they perceive the house.

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