Nothing needs to be perfect to be good, and no one should need to feel perfect to feel right

The thing I always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. The shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. The goal is to get people to look at a woman's legs. It's all about the leg. No, it's not about the leg. It's about the woman.

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

Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.

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.

People are proud of their tattoos. It's like a modern coat of arms.

Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.
