During a recent trip in Paris, we made our mandatory stop at Colette where we caught up with Mr. PR himself aka Malkiel Berry. This 20- something young man is probably one of the busiest person in Paris.

Sept 2007. I discovered PR when I started my internship at Maison Martin Margiela – I originally studied fashion design – and found out it was what I really wanted to do!
Your favorite designer or brand and why?
There is not one, but several; Maison Martin Margiela, Gareth Pugh, House of Holland, Opening Ceremony, Pierre Hardy, Hedi Slimane....
