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

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.

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

Although I feel very French, a part of my heart is in the States. When my brother and I arrived, we didnt really speak any English, and when we left, thats all we spoke when we played together. It was just a beautiful place to grow up.

Creativity is really at the center of what I do, it's a mix of creativity, innovation and savoir faire that creates magical products.

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.

It's important to feel what the customer is feeling when he enters the shop.
