My shoes are perfect for the very sexy woman who wants to be elegant.

There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.

I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.

Something I really hate more than anything else is clogs.

I sketch literally all the time; constructing a collection is like building a family - you have to have a certain balance. I isolate myself - I need to be concentrated for this so I leave Paris, I leave to a place without a phone.

The heel is engineering in itself. This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance.

I’ve always been very detail orientated, but I have gone from embellishment to nudity - from designing for a woman that likes to be dressed to designing for a woman that likes to be undressed.
