was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters for his contribution to the fashion industry in an emotional ceremony on Saturday at his brand-new headquarters in Paris.
“Simon’s story is of a young man who started his label by defying convention, by listening to his friends and to his heart. Instead of breaking into the business the old way, getting a degree, working with a major designer, he burst onto the scene using everything he could to stir up attention,” she said.
“He is a new kind of French designer, creative and entrepreneurial in equal measure and always, always focused on a sense of community,” added the Vogue editor in chief. “Years ago when I lost my mother, I left with her only one thing,” he said. “I left with her a Vogue, and I promised her to be in Vogue. That’s tonight a full-circle situation, so thank you Anna.”
