Really Good Shoes Have To

I'd Already Decided I Wanted To Design Shoes After I Saw A Sign In The Museum Of African And Oceanic Art Forbidding High Heels. Well, Who Could Resist?

I Never Wanted To Design Clothes. I Never Wanted To Work For The Fashion Industry. Shoes Sort Of Belong To The Fashion Industry, Which Is Why I'm Part Of The Fashion Industry. But That's Never Been My Thought. My Thought Since I Was A Child Was Really To Design Those Shoes For Girls On Stage.

There Is An Element Of Seduction In Shoes That Doesn't Exist For Men. A Woman Can Be Sexy, Charming, Witty Or Shy With Her Shoes.

I Wanted To Create Something That Broke Rules And Made Women Feel Confident And Empowered.

In A Creative Business, If You're Happy, It Will Come Out In Your Work. I Don't See How You Can Be Happy If You Don't Like The People You're Working With And If They Aren't A Joy To Have Fun With.
