What is your style?
Pascal: I won’t say I’m conservative because I am not conservative, but I try to be—how to explain in English?—sporty chic? Do you know this?

Yes, but would you rather say it in French?
Pascal: En Français? I don’t know how to say exactly. But I love to shop in Paul Smith. And my little girls—do you know the movie Eloise? Eloise at the Plaza. That is how my girls dress. My wife puts them always in Bonpoint. It’s kind of Versailles-looking. You know Versailles? It is this type of look.

What language do you speak at home?
Pascal: I am from Paris, and my wife, she is from Santo Domingo. My daughters are from New York. So we speak French and Spanish at home.
Thaïs: And a little bit of Italian.
