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

I prefer buying things and figuring out where to put them later than regretting not buying them.

I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.

You have two categories of Shoes, Shoes which are dressing a woman or Shoes which are undressing a Woman

I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.

'Comfy,' that's one of the worst words! I just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy.

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.
