Shoes are just a pedestal. What interests me is the power of the woman who wears them.

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

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

Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.

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

I sketch literally all the time; constructing a collection is like building a family - you have to have a certain balance. I isolate myself - I need to be concentrated for this so I leave Paris, I leave to a place without a phone.

A woman carries her clothes. But the shoe carries the woman.
