I don't do big shows, but if I have a client, maybe I will be in touch.

He said, but I know somebody who is doing a big show.

And he telephoned Thierry Mugler for me.

And I mean, it was all happening then and there.

And Thierry said, well, he has to be here quickly because he was just leaving the company.

And Azzedine put his hand in his pocket and gave me money

to get a taxi, because I was going to get the metro there, it would take too long.

So I met Thierry, and I worked, and it was the first show that I worked on in Paris, which was the Zenith show, when Pat Cleveland was winched down from the heavens, and I made so many hats for that, and it was Iman modeling, and I made her an amazing headdress, and...

Angel's wings.

I mean, it was extraordinary.

And Jerry Hall was in it.

And Sayoko, all these extraordinary models.

And Thierry and I became very good friends.

And then what had happened is that Claude Montana asked me if I would do hats for a men's show.

And he asked me for like two years or something like that.

And I'd always said no or avoided the phone call or whatever.

And then I actually, in those days, could send a telex.

And I sent a telex to Thierry asking if I could do Claude Montana men's show.

Because at that time, Thierry wasn't doing men's shows.

He did men's collection.
