I really wish I had invented the flip-flop. I love flip-flops. It's the one style of shoe I would be so proud of inventing: the Havaiana.

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

I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'

When I started to work on perfume, I could not reduce the idea of a woman to one smell.

The designer side of me has many ideas on how the shoes or woman should look, but the man is thinking 'would I want to see my girl in those shoes?'

Madonna is a feminist and has been doing more for the cause than all the grumpy feminists, who are giving nothing back by being grumpy.

I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.

A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.

Nothing needs to be perfect to be good, and no one should need to feel perfect to feel right

A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.

Men in high heels? That's a prosthesis. But I sympathise. Women have these giant heels. They get taller and taller. The men need help. But a man in heels is ridiculous.

I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They're far from natural, but it's the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.

My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.

Something I really hate more than anything else is clogs.

A lot of women don't like when they're sort of fat, but a fat foot is as beautiful as a skinny foot. Think of Greek statues. Look how many people love the foot of the baby! There is something super-charming about the baby foot.

There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.

I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent

I haven't yet met a woman who told me, 'I wish I had shorter legs.'

Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place. It's like voodoo we don't want things that are soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. I adore life, and I'm very easygoing - and it shows in my work.

I wanted to be a shoe designer, but I never thought it could be a profession. But what was the alternative? Doctor? Too dirty! Air-hostess? Maybe not! Then someone gave me a book on Roger Vivier, and, cheri, instantly I knew that was it!

My mother was a huge influence on me - she was a free spirit and helped me appreciate, from a very early age, that everyone is different.
