These heels are candy for the feet; they’re for pleasure, not practicality.

I don't give away my shoes to celebrities for free. I'm only happy when people like what I do and make the effort to buy them. I would not be happy to see people in my shoes if I knew that they had to be paid to do it, that they had to be pushed.

Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet.

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.

I think every market has lot of things in common, and at the same time, every market has lot of different things.

I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

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