« By principle, I always invent; I do nothing that already exists. I devote myself to the unique, », said Gabrielle Chanel. The 20th century represents an unprecedented era in the history of fashion. The incredible creative flourishing of couture houses—Chanel, Dior, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, and Givenchy—and luxury houses such as Hermès and Vuitton elevated fashion to the status of world heritage. Following in their footsteps, designer-creators have cemented this position, still held by couture today. I love participating in the transmission of these singular pieces and witnessing the emotions they evoke.»
