I'm relating to a period that doesn't exist anymore.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

The secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe; you must only show the first two cracks.

I'm a great observer of delicate situations and women. I really like that bygone type of movement, and for a long time I had been looking for it.

If I was a woman, I would be dressed in the same thing for a month and just change my hat and gloves. Maybe my shoes too; yes, I see what you mean but, really, it's jewels that change an outfit.

I'm always kind of contradictory to what people want and what's selling. But maybe I should care now because I have two or three more outlets. I have to be more adaptable color-wise to what people want. It's usually just black and pink, and that's it.

When I was out of favor and people didn't want that type of boot, flats, or high heels with the elegant, dainty things, it gave me much more energy.
