WWW: What do you believe makes NYC style special, that you wish was a bit more present among the French?

MS: It seems that NYC women are more open to trying new things—whether it’s new trends or new designers or even new ways to wear the same clothes. This sense of curiosity and spontaneity is really nice…I think in France, the women stick more with their uniform and routine, so I appreciate what I see in NYC.

WWW:What are three Sezane pieces you know NYC women will all gravitate toward once they’re in your store?

MS: I think they will love:

All our denim but especially our Brut Sexy. It’s high-waisted, a more structured denim material but still some stretch so very flattering, and unhemmed at the bottom for a more casual look… great with sneakers or ankle boots!

Our Jacks. They are iconic and perfectly easy yet refined still. We designed them to be very comfortable with padding on the inside, little gold details and available in classic black and white but also leopard print and new embroidery prints for fall!

And our Tiger Bag. It's our new perfect IT bag for fall. 

WWW:Where else in the world are you currently looking for fashion inspiration right now?

MS: I like seeing the street style in London–my sister lives there and it’s always fun to see how the British women have their own unique sense of style and how they incorporate the trends.

WWW: And finally, after four years since Sezane's launch, what's been the biggest lesson you've learned about running your own fashion business?

MS: So many lessons. I'm always open to listening to others’ advice and opinions, but ultimately trusting my intuition. I am always looking for signs and when they happen, I have a strong sense of which way I should go–and it has guided me very well so far despite the somewhat unorthodox business method. I am also always looking for and finding inspiration: anything from a color, a moment, a picture, the way I feel, a fabric I brush upon, my eyes are wide open to everything, all the time and I think this sense of curiosity and spontaneity is key to our fashion brand.
