Be completely true to yourself and you'll be happy.

Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.

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

I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know Vogue existed when I was growing up. Vogue, what is that?

High heels are pleasure with pain.

In designing shoes for myself; I'm not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I'm just not thinking of clothes at all. I'm always thinking of a naked woman, actually.

Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
