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

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.

You have to prove your success in order to grow.

Today I find it's extremely hard to launch one's brand, and that's also why we are helping these young talents.

If you know everything, it's the end, no?

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.

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