Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.

Men in high heels? That's a prosthesis. But I sympathise. Women have these giant heels. They get taller and taller. The men need help. But a man in heels is ridiculous.

A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.

Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.

My drawing for women is really curvy. My drawings for men are actually quite angular.
