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

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.

You have two categories of Shoes, Shoes which are dressing a woman or Shoes which are undressing a Woman

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.

I really wish I had invented the flip-flop. I love flip-flops. It's the one style of shoe I would be so proud of inventing: the Havaiana.

When I started to work on perfume, I could not reduce the idea of a woman to one smell.
