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

All the shows are immediately on the Internet, on Instagram, on Twitter, it's huge. Everything is live now, and for fashion, it's very important. It's not that it's good or bad, it's just like that and it's not going to change so we have to adapt to it.

New talents are the future.

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

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.

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

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.
