His refined and hyper-feminine collections, inspired by his friend and muse Jade Jagger and his many trips to the Orient, are appreciated for their extraordinary, vivid sense of colour and attention to detail. In 2004 the first flagship store opened in London. The following year, in 2005, he was appointed creative director of LVMH.
