It's a good addition. There are so many bad addictions. Better be addicted to shoes than something else

I'd already decided I wanted to design shoes after I saw a sign in the Museum of African and Oceanic Art forbidding high heels. Well, who could resist?

The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.

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.

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.

I'm always taking into consideration how the shoe will look on the foot, its relation to the ankle and the leg - that's very important. I often see shoes that seem interesting or nice until a woman puts them on. then a lot of shoes look very clunky, and nobody likes to see that.

I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered.
