Meet people from other cultures, so you understand that the world doesn't swirl around you.

For me there ain't no high heel high enough!

I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.

Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.

In Paris, I really do like to try and do nothing... but that's impossible.

The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.

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.
