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.

Nothing needs to be perfect to be good, and no one should need to feel perfect to feel right

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

People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus.

When you do something you love, you have a passion for it. It comes naturally. Staying true to yourself and doing what you love keeps you going...everything else falls into place.

I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!

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

Everyone has their dates. For me, it's 1991. I can place every memory of my life either before or after this date. It's the year I became an adult. My mother died, and I created my company shortly thereafter. I definitely would not have done it if she hadn't passed away.

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

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

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

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

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.

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.
