Every story has a story. And my window displays have one. Funny, comical, just like the rest. When I decided to take charge of my brand and open my own shop in 2013, I didn't have a penny left over to finish my storefront the way I wanted.

Patricia, what's your favourite restaurant in Paris? I haven't got one. And if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

Patricia, is it true that you're thinking of starting a bag line? It's as true as my metro line project. Even if the one you're talking about is more likely to come to fruition than a possible Line 15 of my own devising.

You give the impression that you've been in the shoe business since you were born. Is that right? Well, yes. What they say about me is absolutely true.

It's rare when celebrities or even stars don't cross the threshold of Patricia's boutique, so she sometimes improvises herself as a journalist and asks her customers a few questions, just as she would anyone else.

Now that she is free of any commitments and the pressure from the White House is off, the former First Lady of the United States was more than happy to take part in a fleeting but oh-so-invigorating Q&A session.

At some point in our lives, we all come across a work of art. A record, a film, a band, a painting, a book, an author. It can be instantaneous, it can take time, it can be dazzling or insidious.

Like every season, the whole of Paris waits impatiently for Patricia Blanchet's new collections. And instead of putting themselves under insurmountable pressure, the Team takes the opportunity each time to surprise everyone by bringing out models that are each more stunning than the last. But it's the names that Team Blanchet give them that always arouse curiosity. Let's meet the finest team since the Dream Team.

Patricia, according to my source at Harper's Bazaar, you've been chosen to create all the shoes that will be worn by the new, as yet undisclosed, actress who will play Barbarella in the remake to be released in 2018.

Like most of my colleagues who want to have a modicum of professional conscience, I have to ask you this question. How do you come up with such wonderful names for your shoes? In fact, it's a very intellectual and at the same time carnal relationship that I have with my creations.

Patricia, you're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Why this strategy? There's no calculation, no strategy. I save my energy for my collections and my customers..

Patricia, you're often referred to as the Coen brother of shoes. Why is that? It's certainly due to the fact that I'm always trying to make people think and smile at the same time.
