I want young people to be able to buy into what I design. When I was young, I wanted to buy designer brands even if all I could afford was the cheapest wallet, the cheapest pen, the cheapest T-shirt because I wanted to be a part of it.

The Ivory Coast had been begging for ages. The country and the fans love me already, and I haven't even done anything.
