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.

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.

I have a lot to learn from designers.

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

You have to prove your success in order to grow.

You have to be very brave and very entrepreneurial - you have to dare to create your own brand.
