I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel more European than Belgian. However I do think that my Flemish roots have an impact on my character and culture.
Belgium is modernizing itself and it gives me joy.
I love French style from the Thirties and Forties. French movie stars like Jean Gabin and Yves Montand had so much natural, effortless style.
I love the German and the Swiss people for their many fine traits of character. I love their language that is so exacting and yet so expressive.
I love Brits! They are so full of energy and individuality. I am a fan!
I love the Swedish people for their detective novels, their archipelago, their sense of humor, their carbonated vodka, and most especially, for their wonderful hospitality.
I think the French have a romantic cliche that Englishmen have great style, great music, irony and sense of humour. Well, sometimes cliches are true.
Great French design is often about unexpected touches.
My parents are both Belgian-born, and so am I, actually. I'm bilingual, so I had experience with French.
Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.
