At the Le Sept disco On Jan. 23, 1980, I suddenly dismissed my co-manager, Gilles Raysse. It was my 10th year since going independent.
At the time, I owned 55% of my company and another founding member, pattern maker Atsuko Kondo, owned 15%. The remaining 30% was owned by Gilles. Because I was the majority stakeholder, nobody could say anything about my decision.
