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.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.

I am interested in all things that celebrate and enhance the female form.

The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men just don't have.

My relationship with shoes has always been linked to shoes, women, women in their shoes and performance.

If the height of the heel is the same as the length of your foot, it starts to look wrong. And if the heel is positioned badly on the sole, you get into ballerina territory, where the body is pushed into a very strange posture. You can exaggerate the arch only so much.

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.
