Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.

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

To have to be sexy? That I hate. To be outrageously sexy? That I love.

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.

Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

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.

Men are always much more dignified than most women.
