You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.

To me, the word 'decadent' is so difficult to use; it's a very sensitive word, in a way.

A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it's not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone's body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest.

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

What is sexual in a high heel is the arch of the foot, because it is exactly the position of a woman's foot when she orgasms... So putting your foot in a heel, you are putting yourself in a possibly orgasmic situation.

Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.

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.
