Occupation: Fashion Designer Birth: January 12, 1968
It felt wrong for me to stay totally connected to that very strict way of approaching the heritage - what it can be, what it cannot be. That was also….
I don't see Dior as something that could become mine. I see it as a dialogue with the women who wear it. I want to stay connected to them rather than….
In my opinion, Christian Dior was never, ever theatre..
And even being in the middle of it, at the LVMH group with Dior, there are certain parts of it that I'm just not really in, because it's not in me or….
When it's only clothes, that is not satisfying enough for me. I don't think I could do this for 10, 20 years if that was all. It also has to be about….
I don't find it difficult anymore, because these days, Raf is only men and Dior is only women. I found it much more complicated when I was doing Jil ….

The fashion world doesn't know the word stop, so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day..
I like very much to put on fashion shows..
