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

It's a good addition. There are so many bad addictions. Better be addicted to shoes than something else

When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening. I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection. The good thing is that I have houses to go to whenever I'm working. I draw according to the place.

My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.

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

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women 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.

I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'

At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!

I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.

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.

I am very bad at drawing. Seriously. I can draw shoes. That's about it.

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.

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.

There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.

I'm very detail oriented. Everything that takes a lot of dedication and creativity I do in the morning when there is light and I'm really concentrated.

You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.

Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.

Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.
