How does Parisian style differ from other cities? Parisian style is more classic and elegant. You have many "basics" elsewhere but here it's more about understated elegance.

What do you think makes Paris the fashion capital of Europe? The luxuriousness of the industry and the women.

Biggest misconception about Paris? The fact that we are closed-minded. People assume we are rude all the time.

What's one thing you'd change about Paris? I'd like people to be more confident about the youth, especially in the workplace.

What's the best location for picking up girls? Anywhere and everywhere.

What do you see as becoming the next big trend? I try not to follow trends.

What's the item currently in your closet that you most regret buying? I don't regret buying anything because it's all a nice reminder of the moment you bought it. I never regret buying stuff.

Favorite website? We Are Blind.

What movie best captures your style? Hannibal Smith in the original A-Team.

I never leave the house without... my sunglasses.

Favorite tech gadget? iPod.

What's the most common statement people make about your style? I think this is something you should ask them.
