Thanks to one of his hand-painted dresses, he was laureate of the Grand Prix of the Creation of the City of Paris in 2010. In January 2011, on the occasion of his first participation in the Paris Fashion Week as a "guest member", he created the event by hiring an all-black cast of models to showcase his collection entitled "Premières Couleurs" / "First Colors". Similarly, his Parisian Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show created the event by featuring a very pregnant model wearing a tight-fitting black and white dress and holding her high-heeled shoes.
