Part of my work is dedicated to artisanship and can only be done by very few people because it requires a specific technique. Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people.

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.

I prefer girls to wear dresses because I like how they influence a woman's body language. I also love skirts. One of my favorite pieces of clothing is the pencil skirt because it obliges the wearer to have a pretty attitude. I like anything that shows a woman's legs because I love to see her skin and how she walks.

There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.

Really good shoes have to seduce both men and women.

People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus.

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