Let's try to bring more style into basics, and let's touch real people all around the world, people who don't really care who Christophe Lemaire is.

It's true that I've made mistakes, but I know I shouldn't do them again.

I'm interested in the poetry of reality.

I'm interested in the intimate relationships we can have with those good clothes that we may have in our closets.

Through designing clothes, I try to bring solutions to people, and I'm interested in the everyday relationship we have to clothes.

I'm trying just to do good clothes, clothes that you need as much as you want.

This is what I've always been interested in, trying to make timeless, functional, real clothes.

I don't feel very optimistic in London.

Theology is simply that part of religion that requires brains.

You make something. You give up expressing and start inventing.

I can't imagine life without singing.
