Who are your favorite designers?

I really want to mention a specific brand because their staff is brilliant, it is Hermès. If you put all the Carrés side by side, it is an endless story, related in many different ways. Their displays are an invitation to dream.

Do you have favorite artists?

Jim Jarmush who directed ‘Night on Earth’, my favorite movie. David Bowie has always made my heart skip a beat, has always impressed me and it will never end. Miles Davis also gives me joy. I saw him in Cimiez just before his death with my sister Sophie. I was 10 years old, I think, I couldn’t sleep for two days!

What would you advise to a young artist?

Never hesitate to undo and redo if it seems to be a failure. We always have a good feeling and redoing is not insurmountable. « Average » is not enough.
