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

I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent

Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.

My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.

For me, everyone has many personas.

My relationship with shoes has always been linked to shoes, women, women in their shoes and performance.

When you do something you love, you have a passion for it. It comes naturally. Staying true to yourself and doing what you love keeps you going...everything else falls into place.
