Where is your favourite destination and why?
New York. I think first of all, New York is full of creativity. The inspiration when you look around, it’s everywhere and it’s a city where the sky is the limit. The skyscrapers are huge, everything feels tall and dramatic, but in the right way because you feel everything is possible. I think that’s where I feel like the American dream exists and dreams can happen. That’s the beauty of New York. As a countryside kid who grew up in Bordeaux, discovering the city was a dream. The first time I went to New York was when I became the creative director of Balmain aged 25 [in 2011]. From that day on, it was love at first sight.
