Quote

The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable, and the color of passion.

In designing shoes for myself I'm not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I'm just not thinking of clothes at all. I'm always thinking of a naked woman, actually.

I never had a plan. I have to say, I'm very shocked when people start a company and say, 'In five years I want to launch a perfume, or in 10 years I want to have this.' How can you know?

I prefer girls to wear dresses because I like how they influence a woman's body language. I also love skirts. One of my favorite pieces of clothing is the pencil skirt because it obliges the wearer to have a pretty attitude. I like anything that shows a woman's legs because I love to see her skin and how she walks.

I buy Dries van Noten shoes. I love his clothes, too.

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.

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.

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

To me, the word 'decadent' is so difficult to use it's a very sensitive word, in a way.

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