A woman carries her clothes. But the shoe carries the woman.

A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.

I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!

When I have meetings scheduled so tight that I can't go to the loo, that's where I draw the line!

I haven't yet met a woman who told me, 'I wish I had shorter legs.'

I wanted to be a shoe designer, but I never thought it could be a profession. But what was the alternative? Doctor? Too dirty! Air-hostess? Maybe not! Then someone gave me a book on Roger Vivier, and, cheri, instantly I knew that was it!

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.
