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

I don't follow anything online. I am rather slow on that side.

People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus.

I don't repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I'd rather surprise people.

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

Beauty is all about form; proportions and the relationships between one line and another.

Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.
