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.

My aim is a very modern Dior, but at the end of the day, I also look back.

Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.

For me, Warhol made so much sense.

Robert Gober, for example. He doesn't seem like somebody who is just going to show in a gallery that asks him to show. He's just making his work, and when he's ready, he's going to show it.

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

I'm not an isolated person. The more I connect to people, the more I have the feeling that things work.
