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

When you are too specific on a target, it can drain you. Ask me where I will be when I am 60, and I will have no answer to give.

Sometimes women feel uncomfortable when men stare at them when they try on shoes.

These heels are candy for the feet; they’re for pleasure, not practicality.

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.

If I'm in the country, my big idea is to do nothing. It means talking, it means cooking with the leftovers in the fridge - l'art d'accommoder les restes - it means gardening.

People ask me all the time, 'How can I walk in these heels?' I answer with the best compliment I remember that came from a woman who lives here in Paris...I know my street much better. Heels permit me to take the time to look at the architecture of my street. Now I take time to look at things.' High heels give you time to think, to look at your surroundings- a camel has seen more in life than a very quick horse! Women should live to rhythm of high-heeled shoes!
