There is an element of seduction in shoes that doesn't exist for men. A woman can be sexy, charming, witty or shy with her shoes.

Something I really hate more than anything else is clogs.

A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it.

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

I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

My favorite sound is definitely mules. If it was an instrument, it's really pingthe touch of the black keys of the piano.

I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be.
