Art critics are like every other critic.

That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.

The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.

Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
