A woman can be sexy, charming, witty or shy with her shoes.

The thing I always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. The shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. The goal is to get people to look at a woman's legs. It's all about the leg. No, it's not about the leg. It's about the woman.

When you sketch a shoe but don't have the intention to do a proper shoe, it remains a curvy sketch with no detail. The shoe completely morphs to the body.

When I have meetings scheduled so tight that I can't go to the loo, that's where I draw the line!

I'm always taking into consideration how the shoe will look on the foot, its relation to the ankle and the leg - that's very important. I often see shoes that seem interesting or nice until a woman puts them on. then a lot of shoes look very clunky, and nobody likes to see that.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

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