I don't follow anything online. I am rather slow on that side.

Part of my work is dedicated to artisanship and can only be done by very few people because it requires a specific technique. Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

My mother was a huge influence on me - she was a free spirit and helped me appreciate, from a very early age, that everyone is different.

The highest heels I do are six-inch heels - but mostly only dancers can wear them, since they are used to being on point in ballet shoes. Their feet are arched.

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.

I have this disease that if I feel good somewhere, I... buy a house.
