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

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent

Men in high heels? That's a prosthesis. But I sympathise. Women have these giant heels. They get taller and taller. The men need help. But a man in heels is ridiculous.

The most outrageous shoe that I had to do was a shoe where the person gave me stones - precious stones - and say that I could do anything with precious stones.

I am always surprised by who wears my shoes. This is a good thing. There is no type of woman, but all my women like to feel feminine. They are women who are happy to be women.

One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you're walking in heels, you've got time. It's much more attractive.
