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

If you are not bored by life, and your primary motto is enthusiasm and if you like your friends, family around you, it all translates into your designs. That's what keeps the creativity alive.

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

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.

The heel is engineering in itself. This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance.

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

I'm very detail oriented. Everything that takes a lot of dedication and creativity I do in the morning when there is light and I'm really concentrated.
