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 don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.

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!

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

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

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.

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'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men.

One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you're walking in heels, you've got time. It's much more attractive.

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

In France you cannot not have lunch. If you stopped the French from having lunch, you will have a second revolution, I can tell you this. Not going to work - it is part of the French privilege.
