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!

I like my customer to be fierce.

Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.

People tend to fear the ghosts in their own family. You feel these family curses and think, 'If it happened to my father, it could happen to me.'

I never had the dream to be a great designer. My focus was just to do beautiful things.

High heels are pleasure with pain.

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