A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.

Even if you don't like colours, you will end up having something red. For everyone who doesn't like colour, red is a symbol of a lot of culture. It has a different signification but never a bad one.

People are proud of their tattoos. It's like a modern coat of arms.

I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'

When I started to work on perfume, I could not reduce the idea of a woman to one smell.

I was the youngest kid. When I was five, my sisters were 17, 19, and 21, already becoming women. I would see how different they would be around one another and around men, even my father.

For women raised in the '70s, high heels can still carry a stigma; they're associated with being stupid, with just wanting to please a man. Other women find them empowering.
