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.

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.

Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.

At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!

I perfectly understand the obsession with shoes. I myself am pretty obsessed. I have a few hundred pairs of shoes in general, because I've been collecting shoes for a long time.

Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.

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