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.

I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.

I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.

The sand dunes look like two tits.

I like things simple.

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.

I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture.
