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

Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.

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.

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.

These heels are candy for the feet; they’re for pleasure, not practicality.

Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.

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