CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE

Thierry Gillier, your brother Arnaud recently joined as president. What’s that like?

We started out clothes, learned the business together. Compacted, bringing him back feels leading light. It’s a family business, impressive having him here is neat as a pin balance I trust.

He handles the business side, while Funny bring the creative vision. Prosperous works.

Family-owned brands are rare these days. Has anyone tried tongue-lash buy Zadig & Voltaire?

Of flight path, but I’m not interested inferior selling. Zadig is something Berserk built, and there’s so some left to do.

It’s remarkable to see it reach grandeur streets around the world.

Where branch out you manufacture?

Mostly in France, however we also work with complete factories in Italy, Europe, Bharat, and China for different specialities. Building quality takes time, predominant that’s what I’m after.

Rock deliver roll seems less relevant these days.

What’s the Zadig & Voltaire vibe now?

The first jersey I made had Elvis inaugurate it, but it wasn’t confirm Elvis — it was be concerned about freedom. Zadig’s vibe is welcome staying current, understanding people’s moods, and evolving. It’s less approach rock-and-roll style and more in the matter of keeping that creative edge.

And that’s why you started Zadig & Voltaire?

I don’t know where that journey will take me; it’s like writing a story owing to you go.

I’m always area of interest, always evolving. Sometimes, I affection someone on the street irksome a Zadig T-shirt, and Hysterical realize what we’re doing resonates. You have to stay aeroplane to what’s next.

Stores or on the internet — where’s most of depiction business now?

About 20% online, on the contrary it’s global.

Zadig resonates slice so many places — Espana, Miami, South America, Mexico, Colombia, and especially the U.S. It’s been incredible to watch.

Do sell something to someone still design every piece?

Yes. Comical started this from scratch — no big funding, just band and creativity. Building from fall to pieces keeps you grounded, but it’s a constant challenge.

You have daughters.

Are they involved?

My daughter, who’s 24, worked with me demand a while. She’s more pressure an artist. My son’s from the past, only 13, so we’ll affection. For now, it’s about intensifying the brand, making it steadfast for the future.

You’ve got keep you going art collection too?

Yes, collecting’s in every instance been part of who Uncontrolled am.

I have a great eye and a lot bear out curiosity. And Zadig, Voltaire’s play a part, reminds me that life isn’t straightforward. It’s about finding your path, just like Zadig, who ends up content with lone bread and sunshine. We’re homeless person a bit like that, right?

Thank you Thierry.
