dirty book air
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!
girl thinking guy
I think I have a part of myself which is a woman. When girls are together, they speak completely differently than when there is a guy around. But, with me, they don't see this masculine thing stopping them, and there is not this boundary.
phones paris balance
I sketch literally all the time; constructing a collection is like building a family - you have to have a certain balance. I isolate myself - I need to be concentrated for this so I leave Paris, I leave to a place without a phone.
shoes long pairs
I perfectly understand the obsession with shoes. I myself am pretty obsessed. I have a few hundred pairs of shoes in general, because I've been collecting shoes for a long time.
may use ugly
There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.
deep-love feet berlin
I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'
running shoes rejects
Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.
summer winter drawing
When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening. I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection. The good thing is that I have houses to go to whenever I'm working. I draw according to the place.
care host programmes
A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.
stars night skills
Bollywood stars are versatile; they not only act, but each one has the dance skills of John Travolta in 'Saturday Night Fever.'
thinking shoes design
Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.
ideas comfort worst
You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. 'Comfy'-that's one of the worst words!
depressing hate ideas
I hate the concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable! And I hate the whole concept of comfort! It's like when people say, 'Well, we're not really in love, but we're in a comfortable relationship.' You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. 'Comfy'-that's one of the worst words! I just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy. It's really depressing, but she likes her life because she has comfortable clogs.
female celebrate form
I am interested in all things that celebrate and enhance the female form.
