I don't want to sound too silly or pretentious about this, but, you know, I love being in Paris. I love working at Louis Vuitton. I love fashion. That's why I do it. No one's forcing me to do this. And nobody forces anyone to buy it. It's a real love affair.

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.

I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time

You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.

I do think that in order for a company to be interesting to the investment community, there needs to be a plan; there needs to be a bigger retail footprint. There needs to be this idea - DNA, lifestyle, words I hate.
