That same year he met Christian Lacroix and became his artistic consultant, with their collaboration lasting for a total of seventeen years. Initially in charge of the Prêt-à-Porter lines, he was then appointed Studio Director in 1996 and became the couturier’s right-hand man in 2002 when he created his own company.
