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

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

I perfectly understand the obsession with shoes. I myself am pretty obsessed. I have a few hundred pairs of shoes in general, because I've been collecting shoes for a long time.

The shoe is very much an X-ray of social comportment.

There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.

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.

People are proud of their tattoos. It's like a modern coat of arms.
