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.

The most outrageous shoe that I had to do was a shoe where the person gave me stones - precious stones - and say that I could do anything with precious stones.

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.

Shoes are a mirror of what you want, what you are or what you're missing

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.

A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.

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.

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.

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.

Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet. I compare it to having a good bone structure. Make-up will make you look good, but it helps if you have a good skeleton to begin with.

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

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

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

When you are too specific on a target, it can drain you. Ask me where I will be when I am 60, and I will have no answer to give.

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.
