Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet. I compare it to having a good bone structure. Make-up will make you look good, but it helps if you have a good skeleton to begin with.

My favorite sound is definitely mules. If it was an instrument, it's really pingthe touch of the black keys of the piano.

The highest heels I do are six-inch heels - but mostly only dancers can wear them, since they are used to being on point in ballet shoes. Their feet are arched.

Sometimes women feel uncomfortable when men stare at them when they try on shoes.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.

For me there ain't no high heel high enough!
