My drawing for women is really curvy. My drawings for men are actually quite angular.

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.

A woman can be sexy, charming, witty or shy with her shoes.

I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.

I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!

Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet.
