patrice: yes. think the notion of desirability is important, and there is an element of exclusivity, and that is why we pulled back in the u.s. where we felt like we had over distributed. and to some extent, ubiquity can be a challenge in the luxury space. not to some extent, it is a challenge of the luxury space, and you want to stay unique and special. that is why we are building markets in china even as we look ahead to markets like india. which are promising for the future. being very deliberate on planting the right foundation so we can build from there with the right image presentation. francine: the world is changing. we talk about ai all the time. we talk about sustainability, and the need for fashion companies to do more. how much time do you spend thinking about sustainability? patrice: a lot, and i will tell you why. if i go back to our conversation on purpose earlier. right? it is part of the dream of a better life, timelessness, and authentic style. timelessness and sustainability go t

patrice: it is pretty fun. probably the thing that attracted me to this opportunity is the opportunity to work with ralph, right? this man is a visionary, incredible entrepreneur who has had amazing success around the world, and the opportunity to work with him, to partner with him, is really special, and i cherish it every day. francine: and you have to get along. he is such a figure -- he has his name on the door. what is his vision? patrice: what is exciting is when you see where the store started, the tie, you see what it has become. i talk about our purpose is to inspire the dream with a better life of authenticity and time and style and that has been the driving force for the company. now we are around the world, well beyond ties. we have hospitality, restaurants, coffee shops, the women's business, the home business, but i'll still driven by a very consistent vision ambition, and this is a business very much about trends, and ralph says i hate fashion because fashion comes and goes. we talk about style,

patrice: i would not do that.do look a number of metrics, whether that is obviously, consumer profile, whether that is competitive environment, or the types of products being sold in the area. the last thing i would point to is operational discipline. these are complex businesses where we develop a lot of sku's every year. complex supply chains. and i think what you learn in the consumer goods industry is how to run pretty rigorous and disciplined supply chains. and just general operations. a lot of these luxury companies now are $5, $10, $15, $20 billion. the level of complexity requires great expertise. francine: how do you choose celebrities and influencers? again, you said we used to rely on magazines. everything has changed now. are consumers more influenced by influencers and celebrities? than they used to be. patrice: i think influencers have always been part of the business, whether it is the fashion industry or other spaces. francine: but it was more controlled. is that the difference? compared to 10 year

patrice: i have not had a lot.e numbers are coming -- are not coming in the way you would like them to, that's unpleasant, but welcome to the business world. when we are not able to get the balance right between the magic and the logic and the groups are not communicating well, that obviously can be frustrating. one of the lovely things about it is it is very emotional. one of the challenging things about it is it is very emotional. francine: were you surprised that even in this cost-of-living crisis luxury does so well? patrice: i think people need to dream. when the environment is more challenging, people still need to dream. they need someone who is going to give them hope and bring optimism, and i think that is what the best luxury companies do well. francine: where will you be in the next five years? patrice: we are on an incredible journey in terms of growth and expense geographically. we will be stronger in asia. we will establish good presence in india. we will be better distributed across europe. we will b
