French people are charming, adorable but not extremely generous with foreigners, but they believe in what they do. I feel proud in exchange because what I did in restoration is something I did for La France.

Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.

Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back... ready to be put in the garbage.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

My title rivals are behind me but at the moment I am not thinking about that. My target is to finish on the podium and then well see where everybody else is.

My normal life is like being on holiday.

I love my beauty. It's not my fault.
