Women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices - a lot of not being their true self.

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.

It's still feminine, but not in a romantic way. It's all about masculine and feminine, and being strong.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.
