00:00I took in the oriental fashion what I think is sexy and timeless and made a modern look
00:22for women all over the world.
00:25The quality and the design and what we do in it would have been impossible even three
00:30or four years ago.
00:31Now we go up to 150 colours.
00:34This is very Chanel, that is one of her ideas, that jewellery as long as it is well designed
00:39and beautiful it has not to be real and that's why I ask the people for jewellery to come
00:44here and mix with the costume jewellery.
00:50You know the prints I did are inspired by tiles from the 12th and 11th century in Spain
00:56when it was Arabian and in the north of Africa and it's unbelievable how modern those flower
01:01patterns look nearly a thousand years later.
01:05It's a modern version, a flexible version of Chanel.
01:08It is Chanel of the 21st century in a modern part of the world.
01:13It is a mix of the old world and the new world and this I think is interesting and exciting.
01:17Don't forget we are in the place with the highest building in the world.
01:20It started in Europe with the cathedrals and the Eiffel Tower then it went to America and
01:24now it's here.
01:25I think there was time for a kind of oriental revival because the orient becomes more and
01:30more important in the history of the 21st century.
