A Shoe Is Not Only

Even Today, I Am Still Very Child-like While Designing. It's A Bit Like Christmas - Each Of Your Designs You Create Is Like Unravelling Your Presents.

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.

For Me There Ain't No High Heel High Enough!

I Like To Undress Women - Not To Dress Them. You Know, Like Manet's 'olympia' Or Helmut Newton's Photographs - Naked Women With Shoes. This Is What I Am Trying To Do.

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.
