In the luxury business, you have to build on heritage.

Louis Vuitton, the world's biggest luxury brand in terms of sales, is planning to dampen its expansion worldwide and focus on high-end products to preserve its exclusive image.

I would never diminish the quality of Hermes. Hermes can be an even rarer and greater quality business, if they ever wanted to work with us.

When you are on the management side, you still have to understand the artistic sensibility so that there is a dialogue with the creative side.

From time to time, the Vienna Philharmonic could play without a conductor because they are so good.

When I was working in my first job engineering construction, what I liked the most was working with architects and making buildings that had this creative side coming from the architect and that were making them a big success.
