I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.

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

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 have always loved tartans - such an ornamented type of weaving, so vivid in colour, and such a masculine aspect. But actually, I think tartans can be feminine or masculine.

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

Listen, to appeal to someone else you might put on a pair of shoes that you don't like or a dress you don't like. But there's no way you're going to put on a perfume you don't like; it's too personal.

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