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

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

If I'm in Italy I'm going to have a cappuccino and two small brioches and then a mix of orange and grapefruit. I don't drink tea in Italy.

I don't give away my shoes to celebrities for free. I'm only happy when people like what I do and make the effort to buy them. I would not be happy to see people in my shoes if I knew that they had to be paid to do it, that they had to be pushed.

Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.

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

I listen to my stomach. It tells me when I am starving.
