And even being in the middle of it, at the LVMH group with Dior, there are certain parts of it that I'm just not really in, because it's not in me or my nature. The whole scene around it, the events, the photography ... It's never really been my thing. But I don't take a critical position on people who are very much about that either.

My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.

Fashion has a long interest in collaborative situations.

I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.

I like very much to put on fashion shows.

But overall I want to make sure people fall in love with the clothes and that they are satisfied

In fashion, general people will look to the piece itself. [Some designers] concentrate on, 'How can I make this seam look special?' or 'What am I going to do with that button so it looks interesting?' I am not interested in that. At the moment, I am more interested in the shape and the form. I have a big desire to make clothes without defining them.
