But as they say, when one door closes, another opens. So the store's founder and buyer Joseph Quartana will now focus on Seven's website, which we understand has already been doing brisk enough business. Over the coming months, the next version of the e-store will be unveiled, promising a wider selection and curated content from its family of designers. "It's really a blessing," he tells us. "Now I can focus all my energies on buying and selling fashion once again, instead of real-estate law, which I've wasted way too much time on over the last two years."

Says Tisci: “Following my collaboration with Madonna on her last tour three years ago, it is a great honor for me to be a part of yet another historical and iconic moment. People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna.” Check out his exclusive sketches...

Yves Saint Laurent said in his farewell speech: “I now understand that the most important encounter in life is the encounter with oneself.” Have you reached that moment yet?
I feel I know myself pretty well at this point. I am still open-minded and still kind of curious and have a wonder about things, but I feel quite strong as a person and I’ve developed a certain confidence and a certain self-awareness. It doesn’t make life easy all the time, but it gives me a certain strength that perhaps took a long time to develop.

Is success a key to happiness?
I don’t know, I don’t know what the key to happiness is. Happy is just a feeling like every other feeling. I certainly feel happy some days and in general I am pretty happy, but I have all the other feelings as well. So I don’t know if there is a key. Maybe the Buddhists have it right where they just sort of honor all feelings and just go with the flow. And then I think you have no problems.

Can success and constant flattery be distracting?
Well, I just do my job. I’m not really distracted by it. Nice things are very nice to hear and it is flattering when one is given some kind of recognition, but none of that distracts me from what my job is, what it has always been: to make things. And honestly, no matter how flattering or even unflattering something is, it doesn’t prevent me from getting up and going to work and doing what I love to do.

Still not satisfied, apparently, Chloé's go-to nose Michel Almairac went back to the lab, played around, and tweaked the beloved original—just a little bit. With rose water, a citrus harmony and a hint of patchouli, the new l'eau (available in March) is even fresher, airier and more carefree.

In other words, the perfect fragrance for springtime frolic. And judging by this behind-the-scenes look at Mario Sorrenti's campaign video with model and actress Camille Rowe (the print images were photographed by Camilla Akrans), it might just make you, too, want to scamper through a grassy meadow under a clear blue sky. Go ahead, we won't tell.
