At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!

If the height of the heel is the same as the length of your foot, it starts to look wrong. And if the heel is positioned badly on the sole, you get into ballerina territory, where the body is pushed into a very strange posture. You can exaggerate the arch only so much.

Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.

I prefer girls to wear dresses because I like how they influence a woman's body language. I also love skirts. One of my favorite pieces of clothing is the pencil skirt because it obliges the wearer to have a pretty attitude. I like anything that shows a woman's legs because I love to see her skin and how she walks.

If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.

A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.

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