If women followed me, it is because I understood them. A woman’s time is precious, it was necessary to solve clothing problems for her, by making her life easier, giving her body freedom. I went a step ahead of her needs. Couture designers tend to perpetrate the illusion of dreams. I rather face reality: one has to listen to women.
«I look like the Celine woman; it’s for that reason that I know her well, I understand her constraints, as much morphological as professional. She is dynamic, she works, she travels a lot, does not count on an extravagant, too eccentric garment to make people think she has a great personality.»

“I think the CELINE woman is dynamic, feminine and strong. She really loves to dress and is cautious about her look but is not overpowered by the clothes... More generally, I like women who are strong but express their sensitivity and femininity.”,
