I don't believe that anyone is not bothered by critics. I think that everybody cares.

We, as designers, have a job with so many possibilities and connections. We are connected to so many different portals, from art to movies to music to design. Fashion is always evolving. Actually, the field is huge. I don't think there is another profession that is so open to so many possibilities.

I'm not interested in types. I'm interested in archetypes.

I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.

Craziness in a shoe is great - you can have much more freedom, you can exaggerate and it doesn't feel stupid. But to have too much craziness near your face, that would just feel weird.
