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

Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.

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

Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.

A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it.

I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

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.

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.

I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time.

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.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.

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.

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.

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

I have always loved tartans - such an ornamented type of weaving, so vivid in colour, and such a masculine aspect. But actually, I think tartans can be feminine or masculine.

I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
