A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.

Sometimes women feel uncomfortable when men stare at them when they try on shoes.

I never had the dream to be a great designer. My focus was just to do beautiful things.

I don't repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I'd rather surprise people.

The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.

Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet. I compare it to having a good bone structure. Make-up will make you look good, but it helps if you have a good skeleton to begin with.

The most outrageous shoe that I had to do was a shoe where the person gave me stones - precious stones - and say that I could do anything with precious stones.
