After leaving school, he embarked on a career of self-education, Parisian style, which he pursued with the carefree abandon of the supremely gifted.

At the tender age of fifteen, he sold sketches of prints at Yves Saint Laurent. At the age of seventeen, he was taken in as assistant at Dorothée Bis.

Today, his work is divided between his two activities: the ready-to-wear under his own label and the haute couture for Guy Laroche including perfume and cologne.
