Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.
For me, everyone has many personas.
A woman carries her clothes. But the shoe carries the woman.
I buy Dries van Noten shoes. I love his clothes, too.
Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.
What was called extreme 20 years ago definitely isn't extreme anymore. When I started, I remember people saying, 'Oh my God, I can't walk in that!' It was like, three inches - they look like kitten heels now.
