I like to undress women - not to dress them. You know, like Manet's 'Olympia' or Helmut Newton's photographs - naked women with shoes. This is what I am trying to do.

I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.

When you are too specific on a target, it can drain you. Ask me where I will be when I am 60, and I will have no answer to give.

A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.

A woman tells a story with her clothes, but it's the shoe that carries her.

When you sketch a shoe but don't have the intention to do a proper shoe, it remains a curvy sketch with no detail. The shoe completely morphs to the body.

The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.
