I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.

I sketch literally all the time; constructing a collection is like building a family - you have to have a certain balance. I isolate myself - I need to be concentrated for this so I leave Paris, I leave to a place without a phone.

Be completely true to yourself and you'll be happy.

You have two categories of Shoes, Shoes which are dressing a woman or Shoes which are undressing a Woman

Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.

If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.

For me, everyone has many personas.
