Maurice Béjart
In 2000, I launched my brand. I said during an interview a stupid sentence that I tried to elongate the movement when I make clothes. Maurice Béjart read it in Madame Figaro and the next day he called me. I met him and after half an hour he say, "Okay. I like you. I'd like to work with you." We did his last choreography, first for Lumière in 2001, for the frères Lumière. Then, Barel Barbara, he went around the world. It was a very special moment for me. I still don't understand why or how it happened, but it's like most of everyone that I met in my life. It just happened without trying to make it happen. Just enjoy the moment. I really enjoyed working with all the dancers in Béjart. Maurice was a very special guy and when you make costume, you learn something, that you are just a thing or a person that can help to make something beautiful. When you design clothes, you think of other people, but when you work for dancers and choreographers, your personality is taken out, you just help to make a greater thing.
