I prefer buying things and figuring out where to put them later than regretting not buying them.

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

There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.

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 was born 20 years after my eldest sister. I was the pampered child. That kind of love gives you an almost unbreakable backbone. My mother had three kids before me. She let me be completely free. I just never had anything to beat myself up over.

Passage Vero-Dodat - I started my company on this passage. It feels as much home as it can!

I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement. Clothes - it's a different story. There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.
