I can say, let's go to the DNA of the brand and find something that I can introduce into my work. It's part of the patrimony of fashion.

Fashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.

When the water is very calm and very beautiful, it won't take a long time that a thick head will throw a stone in it!
