Okay, it's official. We are very much in the final sprint to Election Day and face it between debates, polling releases, even court appearances, it can feel exhausting, even impossible to keep up with. I'm Brad Milky, I'm the host of Start Here, the daily podcast from ABC News, and every morning my team and I get you caught up on the day's news in a quick, straightforward way that's easy to understand, with just enough context so you can listen, get it, and go
on with your day. So, kickstart your morning, start smart with Start Here and ABC News, because staying informed shouldn't feel overwhelming. Hello? Oh. Oh. Paris, how are we? Bonjour! Yeah! Paris Fashion Week, who's been going to the shows because they're in one of fucking bullshit, am I right? Oh, okay. Bonjour, mon ami, we are so stoked to be here in Paris for the launch of Champion Pinnacle Footwear, Shoutout Champion for linking up with Throwing Fits and releasing some fire
sneakers. We appreciate you. Shoutout StarCow for the generous generosity and such being great host. And shoutout to our steam guest, the creative director of First Act, the co-founder and fashion director of Letticet Magazine, and we know you as the mayor of Paris, Gauthier Borsarello. Gauthier, how are you? Yeah, I love you for you. Yeah. Just sleep, I just speak so fast and you're so loud, you know, I'm just scared. We'll keep it, but keep it, you're scared.
Yeah, of you, you're specifically, yeah. Okay, well that makes me feel like shit, but not so much. You didn't sleep last night because you're so scared, right? Yeah, exactly, because I'm like, it's too about you. Fuck them, kids. We're going to do a couple of pod here. We want to ask you, Gauthier, as a Parisian, how happy are you that the Olympics are over? Actually, I'm a bit sad because I left town.
I was scared because of the organization, you know, everyone was like, it's going to be a nightmare. We cannot handle this. It's going to be, you know, like too crowded, too risky, too blah, blah. So I left town and actually it looks really, really good. So I'm a bit sad, it's over, but I'm happy I can drive again in the city. So sad that you left and didn't even give me exactly what I'm doing. Exactly. I don't have a t-shirt, you know, like I can't say in 20 years, like for a new rock off to.
I'm originally always there. I went from, and the West of France, typical coward French bullshit. You want to know that, so Gauthier and you know, like, no, we just complain all the time. So you just fuck it up. The city must have been full of people from all over the world, but you know, fashion-wise, style-wise, we want to know, how can you tell if someone walking down the street in Paris is an American based on their clothes or their style?
I think American compared to French, they do a little bit too much, you know, they have to be too obvious, they have to be too costumed. Like we're going to tie to a podcast with a little jacket. Dressed with a job you want. Exactly. What's that? That's right. But the thing is, it's a bit more like, you go more like maybe by rules. You know, the French, we hate to be in the box or in the categories we all are, but we try always to be unique.
So I think Americans more like obvious, easy going and smiling and saying hello, and we never do. So if you're rude, you're French. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe there's another time, yeah, smoking a cigarette. Exactly. I guess vaping. vaping now, right? Yeah, yeah. I think it's, it's, no, it's forbidden. I think not for, for weeks or something like this. No, you're asking them. Yeah, you have no idea. I don't smoke out. No, that's not, only for kids. Only for kids out. Okay. Thank you, Nagisan.
Is that why they, is that why you guys have been protesting? They get outlawed. Yeah, we just protest for everything. They did the process for these shoes. Really? Yeah. They were so happy and buried. They're like, what? Yeah, yeah. It was a rally. It was rally. It was a rally. Yeah. Besides like being too loud, besides being too maybe taking up too much space on the sidewalk, like, what clues you in that a guy is an American?
I think in the colors, you're, you're there more than a French guy, I think. No. The regular French guys are more like low, dark brown or dark navy, black. No, it's more simple. It's less loud. Okay. I would say monochrome. Yeah. We have more monochrome here. What's your, what's your favorite color? Dark navy, indigo, blue. Yeah. French. And then the safety yellow to badden. Safety yellow, yeah, safety yellow. Yeah. Which is put on a sheerling jacket, right?
Exactly. Yeah. That's a traditional, uh, world tour. A pretty thing. Hmm. You're a voice. How can I go about getting one of those for free? For free. You don't have to do something you don't want to do. Well, coming from French guy, I don't want to know. They don't want to know. Who dresses better in your opinion? Guys from New York City or guys from Paris? The guy from London. Oh, yeah. Why is that? I don't know. But there's something we never managed to, to manage here.
I don't know how to say it, but it's just a bit edgy, weird, you know, extreme. They are more rough than us. You know, they have bad teeth. They drink like your bad teeth. Yeah. But there is something strong with British people that in French, we are more like maybe fancy or more, you know, elegant blah, blah, blah, but in the UK, it's more raw. And American is more, I wouldn't say vulgar because it's not what I mean. It's not negative.
But it's more obvious, you know, and more like, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff… It just works, you know, you do whatever works... Every pie, cream pie. And I think in Europe, it promote cream pie, exactly. But you just do whatever it works y'know? And that's what I love, in America, y'know, you haveed the best drinks, you have the best sports, y'know? You have everything that works for everyone, y'know?
You're really good at making things easy for everyone. That's called democracy, dude, y'know? Yeah, we don't even, yeah yes yes, coming home to a country near a used clothing. But in France it's like, oh, this is gonna work too much. No, it's not age enough. We're gonna take it back. You know what I mean? We have like, I think we're scared of money, we're scared of success, we're scared of all these kind of things. And yeah, we think it's vulgar to do something that works too much, too big.
Honestly, I think there's something like this. We have a bit pretentious, a bit like, I don't want to do like this. If you do something, for example, ALD, which is a huge success, in France, we'd be like, oh, I'm gonna wear this with me and my team. And when he would see all the kids wearing it, he'd say, oh, this is too late, I'm gonna stop. You're exclusionary. Exactly. That's why we never do big business. So something is popular, you don't like it.
Exactly. But in London, that's like, is that the most out city in the world? London, yeah. I think because they still have like, micronish, you know, like the punk, the skateboard, and they're really niche and extreme in there niche. So I think London is a more like, diversity city and you can see many styles in the street. Every time, if it's just one day, you go there, when you come back, you're not the same. It's really strong visually, I think. Your teeth get worse. Exactly.
So that's where you go to like get inspired. Yeah, London, the London. Okay. That's what I prefer to be honest. Where do you shop when you go to London? Casimir Cantail, Sun Friars with Max. Vintage show, all the classic guys, you know, warn many people and then I just scroll and go in the bad thrift stores. So everywhere, I think, everywhere. Bad thrift stores. Yeah, that's where the best stuff comes out. Absolutely. What about Paris? Where's the best vintage shopping in Paris?
I don't really shopping the center. I go to flea markets every week and then I use the central bank, you know, and for the van van sale in the mornings. Okay. So outside of the city, I want to translate that for me. Yeah, no, I already done for you for the moment. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Any stuff done on Monday, so you can go there Monday. Oh, thank you, Bob. Yeah, we'll have pleasure.
Well, we are visiting in Paris, you know, we're here for just a few days, you know, for someone that's here for us specifically. What would you recommend we do to have go to a perfect day in Paris? We want to know food, shopping, bars, art, everything. Yeah, I'm really boring in my lifestyle. So I'm trying to, I'm going to give you the fantasy of my life to you. What I would do if I had the, if you're cool, yeah, exactly. Don't do the boring stuff.
Yeah. For the food, what I love is you go to any Brasri and your other sandwich that they make for you, you know, like a Jean-Bembeur classic to me that's the best food in Paris. There's no, like, you know, bad way of doing it. My favorite restaurant in the Racine and Gavrosch because it's close to my area and I really love to go there. What do you love? Not in my office. No, I live at Role-Garros in And that's what you're going to do at the as soon as it happened.
I am going to give you the big room that I would go upstairs now, and you don't have a powerful school, just make a shopping at the wristroom. And for myself if you say that you'reania breathing that I go upstairs and playing the game. I happen to try to go up to cardplates and put a Univers beginning show and follow the schedule and that's where I live. I was awake and thought, I'm very excited, because that's the biggest thing you're Bong-to-Bbeur. I live at Roland Garros in Ts'ong.
What's your home address? My home address? Yeah. In Boulogne. In Boulogne? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Actually, it's a job. In Boulogne, because I have kids, so you know, there's not much choices. So, yeah, for art, any museum in Paris is great. I love Jacques Marandrer, which is my favorite, or the Hunt Museum in the Marais, which is amazing visually. I like Bours du Commerce just there. Hunting, hunting museum. It's insane. Yeah. I'm trying to go.
Yeah, but it's really, really good. It's on Sundays and Mondays. No. Probably Fridays. No. Probably. Just for the day. Just for you. What's good to go, what to do? Of course, Dru. Of course, Dru. Bours used to go to Kravon in the west of Paris, because really, the food is really nice and the cocktails too. What bars, any bars, like classic one, the thing is I don't like fantasy things. So I like really raw things. So any bar, and just have a cold beer, and that's good enough for me, you know?
So what's the beer order? What do you get? I like to call it like, you know, the work in the street, like, the beers of the work, you know what I do? The beer of the chantilly. Beer of the people? Yeah, not just classic beer. No, like, oh, this is made like this in this kind of.. I hate these kind of things in wine.. Oh, we craft craft beer. I like beer rules. Yeah, not this one. You just want regular beers. Yeah, it's what I like, shot a hein-a-kay. Yeah, shot a hein-a-kay.
For the regular beers. Yeah. Exactly, I like to say those. Hell no. Not their hein-a-kay. Yeah, that's it. I hate to say. I hate to say Corona, all the classic stuff. I don't like, yeah. Just a classic beer. Yeah, good enough. beer. The broken lager, these kind of things. Yeah, but why are there, we don't have them much here to be honest. Yeah, it's important. It's the most fun. What about American wine? I never
tried to be honest. It's shit. I know there's no reason to try to be honest. We have so much here. No, I'm sure it's good, but we have better here and it's not imported. So it's just, we have to drink this. No, you don't want to taste what? Why from Oregon tastes like? No, no, you know, Trump has a vineyard. Have you ever tried Trump? He has a watch now, you saw? Yeah, $100,000. And sneakers. And he looks really bad. I want on right now. I think I'm kidding.
You know, as newbies to Paris, can you please teach us some of your favorite French or Parisian slang that we can use? So the one I use when I drive? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Fis de putte. Let me guess. Fist up the pussy. No, no, no, no. Fis de putte is son of a bitch. Oh, Niktal Mer is fuck your mother. So one more time. Niktal Mer. Niktal Mer. And my favorite is that they're going to get what does that mean? It goes
continue in your case. Fuck off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's just like yours. You know, it's just like yours. Yeah. I hope that this is what you're driving your kids around. That way you're really vulgar. I think in place when you upset, it really comes really loud, I think driving, driving. Yeah, because you're protected, you know, so in the street, you're like, oh, yeah. I mean, the traffic in Paris is miserable. Yeah. It's
the fuck is up with that. It's impossible. Because of the Olympics, they did some new rules that didn't change afterwards. So I just, it's a nightmare. How French they made the rules nice stuff. Yeah. It's impossible. Okay. What's, what's move it over to menswear? What is happening in menswear right now in Paris, specifically, that you're really stoked about? That I'm happy about. That's a good question. You can't just say that. No, no, of course, of course, not. It's a part of it,
but not really. I, for some month or years, I'm a bit more outside of it. So I'm more like a watcher. And I love to watch the kids. And this year, I think it's really, except I know it's when you enter class school is back, you know, and they're all the same. Like they're all clones. And I think it's super interesting because I'm really marking the era. They're all dressed the same with baggy jeans, Levi's or simple things, white t-shirt, nofs, jacket and Nike, white or black, extremely
simple. And you can see like dozens and dozens of kids looking the same with long hair, at least thing to chip up and some of PSG. Yeah. Exactly. That's like a 1995. Exactly. Exactly. And I'd be, I don't know how to say it. Maybe it's sad and happy because for them, it's great because they're really creating an aesthetic that they're going to have nostalgia about. You know, it's stronger. It's very visual. At the same time, they're all the same. So that's a bit sad, I
think. Exactly. They're young and they need to start, you know, just like you know, I heard that aesthetically you're you're developing between a 17 and 25 musically, aesthetically, everything. That's your core for all the rest of your life. So it's super important that they do. It's important that there is something happening during this era for them. Right. But I'm now older. I have kids, well, so I'm less in the research of my personal style. And I love to watch the others doing it.
I like the nerdy stuff, you know, that we used to love five years ago, super like classic, okay, preppy, blah, blah. That was really for the nerd coming thanks to ALD on this kind of brand a bit more mass and bit more streetwear. So I love this blending. I think it's super interesting. And I love to take these codes and to make it super radical. So you take like a very preppy silhouette, but you do all Navy or all black or super simple, but with the references of the past,
I like to meet yeah, all money and new money aesthetics together. I think that's super interesting. How did you dress when you were 17? Yeah, take a spec. 17 was a shift for me. I used to be a skater. Okay. Were you good? No, really bad. Did you have long hair? Yeah. I had long hair. And long. And yeah, I always was working role in skateboard. That was my vibe. And then I moved to the French touch with the GMED, with all the kind of thing we all talk about.
Now in Paris, because the great reportage about this guy was a pure producer. And he produced for many, many people of this era. So I shift. And it was like the slim, you know, April 77, leather jacket. It was bad. We can like the third member of justice. Exactly. No, honestly, it's just this all the rock and roll of this era. We call it the baby rocker at the time. You know, I was in this. Yeah. Fire. We need to find those photos. Oh, I can't say my
pants and you can do some layout in the mood boards. Yeah. I mean, men's wear does move very slowly, especially compared to women's and other trends and culture. What, where have you been turning for new inspirations lately? So my biggest default, you say? Like, yeah, go to your go to again. Not default. Come on. So my not not quality, the opposite of quality. Quantity. No. The thing I don't do well is I'm only inspired by the past, you know, more than 20 years
always, that's my limits. So I always go really in the past. And lately is the French furniture designer from the 30s for the colors and the mix of colors and fabrics and materials. So du prix la fonge en Michel Frank, Roulman, this is my inspiration for like, you know, composing some mood boards. And otherwise, cinéma from the pardon, I'm really obsessed lately. The pardon and Romère, so French from the 70s, 80s. And I try to mix these volumes with these colors. And
that's where I am now. Sounds like a very professional answer. Thank you. But yeah, I try to have inspiration that I never look on the left and the right, you know, people what they do now. So sometimes it takes more time to to design like this because you have to create your own aesthetic and to have your own fan base and blah blah. So it takes time. It's more time that just copying the guy he is hype, you know, lately. How many people do we see cop in Cotea?
Okay. Not much to be honest. Really? Not sure. No. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. It meant to say guys, yeah, I mean to say guys on Instagram, maybe, but I do too, you know, we all inspired by each other. So I think it's healthy. Are you flattered when you see someone who's like copying your look? Yeah, I had a guy who sent me like five different Japanese accounts with like exactly me. Just five different. No, not me. It was them. Just Cotea's on.
Yeah, it was like, whoa, because it's shocking because I don't feel like I have a style, you know, I don't see me as copying. Easy to copy or especially enough to be copied. Sure. And then I saw myself. He's like, what the fuck is he doing? And I sent my friend a lethica. Man, it's crazy. Exactly like him. You know, like the colors, the volumes, the French workwear mixed with elegant shoes, all the thing I do, I think naturally, was the copy paste.
So I was flattered because I think, oh, we can decline this, but the problem is someone called me the influencer of the not for sale. And that's a bit the problem is everything I always difficult to find is blah blah blah. And that's being French, you know, I should do something easy to get a picture for sure. As like a creative director, like professionally, do you purposely try to like avoid consuming too much like content from other brands to like
avoid being influenced? Of course. A year ago, I muted all the fashion guys from, you know, people creating the creative people, not because I didn't like to see them, but I think you see something and then you go to back to work. And in a month, your head just offers you this idea. You've been accepted. Yeah. And I think it never happened to me. Like, never, I never had someone like, oh, you copied this for me, it never happened. And I'm really focused on this. But I wouldn't,
I want my head to be free. And that's why I always watch movie that I'm 20 years old at least. I'm never watching a show fashion show. Even I have to go for litigates. So I go there, but I never put on my mood box something I saw on a show because I never create something from someone created by designer. You're just sitting in the front row with your eyes closed. Exactly. Let's just watch the girls on the sides. But yeah, I try. You take it on the fashion guys. Just girls. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Better. That would sell better. It's work. It's work. It's work. It's work. It's work. Is there been a fashion show that you've been to recently that like was amazing? In terms of clothing or in terms of entertainment? In terms of, well, I mean, maybe both. Both together? Clothing and entertainment. The intersection. You know, I'm really, really hardcore with clothing. There's of quality and fabrics and blah, blah, blah. So yeah, I like
a ricoence. I always love to go because it's amazing stuff. I love what's been done at Bali lately. Really, really, really good stuff going on. It's the second I think show and it's really good. Farrell, I like to go because just the show is amazing. The music is amazing. I'm going to stop there. Spectacle. Yeah. And it's just like, your eyes is American, you know? So he's like in your face, like a shell of sugar and you're happy when you go back and then you have a down. He's like,
I'm never going to do this. So he's that's a we've heard that a few times where people are saying that what Farrell's doing at Louis is very American. What is that? How so? He's just obvious. Okay. Like, it's not just very big. It's not negative. It's just like, I love to go to America and have a good burger, Coca-Cola, watch American movies, get diabetes. Yeah. Honestly, it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not too. Yeah. That's my favorite.
But only 20 years more. But yeah, it's just like you have this capacity to do something obvious to understand and that's something I would love to have the ability to. But I don't. And that I admire a lot, you know, made even some French guys has it like Jack Mews. You know, it does something and it's so brilliant to do like, you know, like tablo, I think tablo or screens, you know, something you see and it's like, boom, I want it. It's beautiful. It's so
obvious. It's perfectly made. And I think Farrell has these two. Is that is Jack Mews the most American French designer in that regard? I would say in a positive way to say like he can talk to the big mass super easily and he's super strong at this. He's an entertainer, you say? So when he goes to Versailles, when he goes to the saus, you know, you see the show and you cannot, you cannot not be shocked, you know. So I think that's super, super strong talent.
Generally speaking in menswear, what do you want to see more of? Yes. Failed clothes in the street because we all like all of vintage, all of vintage, but actually in the street, everyone has new clothes. So I miss patina. When I was growing up when I was 17 and a rocker. There was a guy called Andre, a graphier, maybe you know, Andreas Sarraiva. He lives in New York and his good friend on mine is super talented in my point of view.
And he had a club called the Baron and at this time, people had like Western, I, APC jeans, white t-shirt, and leather jacket and always the same things. And you see the patina in the street. It was cool to have always the same clothes because it was like the Ramon, so like, you know, the raccoon roll fantasy we had. So I missed that and everything is too new everywhere. So people go to the thrift store and they buy something vintage, but it looks new because it's not their own vintage.
And I think the patina that you create yourself, you cannot replicate ever, even if it's a natural patina from someone else, it's not yours. So I think that's my new obsession is to buy very old clothes, but that stuck and to fade it myself. But I have too much, so it never gets patina. How many pieces of clothing do you own? Sorry, how many pieces of clothing you own? Oh, sorry. Do you even speculate? 2,500, something like this. That's pretty expensive. You know what you know.
Okay, you can say, do you have a spreadsheet? What I know is I buy more than one piece per day per year. That's a lot of clothes, that's. Yeah, I think you have a lot of things to do. Oh, yeah, sure. No, no, no, no, no. I think you have a problem. I know, I know. What did you show? It's a lot of things here, you know? Everyone wear your clothes, right? Wear your clothes, wear your sneakers. I, according to GoTiA, what do you want to, what do you sick of in menswear?
You know, these sporty guys dress in suits on Instagram. So, like a super, super muscle belt with tight suits. The stretch in the fabric or whatever. Two perfect like double-peed, high waist, blah, blah, blah. All the coats, like perfect menswear, cause you know, applicated perfectly, that aren't being tired of. So, what do you want to see instead? Like a little like personality or something.
Yeah, but that's the most difficult thing because we all on the same networks and we see all the same things. So, at the end, we do all the same things. Ramdan Tuami, a creative from Paris, he said, if it's on Instagram, it's too late. If your inspiration comes from something on digital, it's too late because someone else saw and he's gonna have the same ideas yours. So, when DJ Medias is great reportage on art, that just came out, I'm gonna send it because it's really amazing to watch.
And for Parisians, seeing it's super important. And we also it. So, I'm showing one year, you're gonna see French touch everywhere, like all the rap from the 90s, French everywhere, blah, blah, blah, blah, because we also it at the same time. So, I think the key is to get your inspiration for something that's not on the screen. So, you have to do the intellectual effort to go to see an old movie, to an old book, to go to the library, or whatever.
So, I think that's what I miss is something different. Everything is so normalized. I think it's sad. You know, like the sweatshirts on the shoulders are the way you wear the pants large on a tight shoes or you know the volumes are blah, we find something on the movie that's cool. You do it and boom, everyone is doing it. So, you have to change. And at the same time, it's still you. So, you want to continue doing it. So, all this kind of reflection, I think it's tricky in our job.
Would you recommend that everyone listening like delete Instagram for a month? Yes. Or a month? It depends on if you're just like a regular guy and just so dressed well, it's great because it's like a great way of learning. But in my job, in my position, I cannot do this. If I do let's get with the style I saw on Instagram for the month before, I'm dead. You know, it's not good enough to make it, make it come to a continue.
Yeah. So, nice, it's tricky because at the same time, we sell like a long-lasting, timeless style blah, blah, blah. And at the same time, every two months, we need to create something new. Because that's the business, you know, I'm sure you understand what I mean. Everyone loves it. Nothing is forever. Everyone loves the fuck off. We know that you're a huge fan of Champion, you know, especially as a vintage collector and a fan of their heritage.
How do you see this new pinnacle footwear collection kind of contributing to the brand's legacy that you're actually thinking of? Champion is just like a creator of outfits for a purpose. That's why sportswear to me, it's weird because with the time, it changed a lot. But to me, sportswear originally is to be used now for a function and for an instance. It's never been made to last to be better with time blah, blah, blah. But Champion always did this, like the reverse weave, it was super thick.
The feet was really bad, but at the same time, super cool. Because that's, it makes it iconic, you know, but originally it's bad. It's long, it's tiny. It's like super weird, there's no scene here. It's super weird. But it became mythical because people made great things in them. And I think that's the beauty of sportswear. It's only become a myth when someone is actually doing something exceptional on it.
And that's thing that's the most sexy things on earth is a work effort, something that's above you. And that's why I hate coolness, you know, oh, this is cool, it means nothing. You know, Michael Jordan was not cool. He was the best basketball player of all time. So everything what he did became cool, big out of him. And I think that you cannot replicate this. So sportswear, it just complete a full silhouette of Champion.
And good for them, you know, the styles are like long lasting, good enough and pasta. So sexy. Yeah, it's easy to mix, easy to blend with other Champion stuff, easy to mix with like, you know, carat or leave. I thought it's the it's the meeting point of form and function. Exactly. That's what you're saying. OK. In a world that is full of bullshit sneakers, let's be fucking honest. And maybe I see some in this room. How does a good pair of sneakers stand out? How many?
How does a good pair of sneakers stand out? And like remain like, you know, classic. If this like a sports record made with them, I think that's something that all the brands just chase is to actually support actually athletes and to help them to do like some new records, new things, like parallel mpics, blah, blah, blah, all these kind of things. That's great for the brands. And yeah, that's the only way to stand out is to be mythical for a good reason.
But you know, I'm not a sneaker guy because it doesn't age well. So I only only had something that ages well, which is like classic white sneakers. It's actually super simple and it fades well and pasta. But yeah, that's the only way you can stand out. Yeah. I mean, some people call you a collector. Maybe some others call you a hoarder with a problem. Or maybe just a hoarder. You're building an archive, right? I'm not a hoarder. It's work.
Yeah. If you come to my office and you're like, something, I'm just gonna give it to you. Really? That's my main problem to be honest. What's your office address? But you will come now. You leave on the Monday. I'll show you. OK. But tragically, your office, your home, everyone's safe. All your storage units, your own fire. And you can only save one thing when you're saving. So I'm not materialistic. It sounds weird, but I got robbed at my home like six months ago. Oh, you should. I'm so sorry.
No, it took all my jewelry, all my bags. Not my watch, because you're in the safe at work. And you're not gonna know. Smart, smart. You still give out your home address on a podcast. Yeah. No, no, no. And the thing is, they didn't steal the stuff that like the all very fancy, not all fancy. The French work were super, super pricey, but they didn't know. They opened like this guy's crazy. And so they stole everything that was easy to sell. And actually, it didn't move me at all.
Like, I come from a very low accent. So I just, I know what it is to have nothing. So I'm not scared to lose. So the only thing I would like to keep is the gifts from my friend and family. And it sounds cheesy, you know, but I'm not really attached to materialistic things. Anything with a sentimental meaning is there. Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of. But the price is not really something that moves me. So they went for like, what like vintage Birken bags and things like that.
That's stolen. Yeah. You know, I had the big Oakawa and I got your, yeah. Sandra McElgucci, where they're like, oh, I could flip this on StockX. But I don't have them all over them. Yeah, the MS bag is left, all the viton, all the, everything. Yeah. All right, go to a last question. How much money have you spent on clothing in your lifetime? Honestly, my ex-wife knows, I think. Ex-wife. I don't know. Ex-wife knows. I don't know why. Yeah. No, I have no idea to be honest.
Like, becoming here, I went to a thrift store and I bought two t-shirts and I, it's just like, just on your walkover? Just here. There. But you were in the back. You couldn't help yourself. You're just walking. No, just when it's just high because I like the guy a lot and he's like, hey, how are you? Blah blah blah. He's like, oh, I have two things for you.
Blah blah. OK, OK. And I just, you know, at the end of the month, if I still have money, I was like, OK, I have 100 left when I'm going to buy. You know, it's just like, it's a problem. But you know, in the face, you have an addiction, 100%. Yeah, it's just an addition to something new I never saw. It's not to have. It's just, I'm always chasing something I never tried and never experienced and blah blah and washed. I love to wash. That's my main problem. I love to wash.
I have some techniques, some chemicals. I'd hold my, yeah. I'm like, you're a scientist. And I'm re-per-everything. I can re-per everything. I'll trade my clothes. I do, yeah, I'm a bit crazy. Is there one piece of clothing that you're still on the hunt for that you haven't tracked down yet? Specifically. Ooh. Yeah. World War II, denim, US Navy, gun of smoke, that I never had. I have a repro for Manatomika, which is amazing and super well made in Japan.
I don't really like repro's, but this one, I never had the hand. Oh, and the dead jacket. Super simple item. Everyone has it in their archive and I never had one. I don't understand why. The Deep Ockhead blew with the flap. Yeah, yeah. I never had it. I don't know why. It's like a unicorn. Key. Searching. Exactly. So you have spent over a million euros on clothes, right? Let's be real. Million, I'm not sure. I have no idea how to be honest, but come on. It's a lot. That's for sure.
But if I say, I mean, I'm, I saw he's going to call me back like sell the clothes now. But yeah, I don't know. I have no idea. That would be a good, just to, just my eBay purchases, a great blah, blah, just to do the addition, just to see how they do. Yeah, do the Macau's going to quit. He has it too much work.
