artist people done
Part of my work is dedicated to artisanship and can only be done by very few people because it requires a specific technique. Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people.
country art mean
If I'm in the country, my big idea is to do nothing. It means talking, it means cooking with the leftovers in the fridge - l'art d'accommoder les restes - it means gardening.
art high-heels shoes
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?
cannot core dedicated men pleasing red resist women work
The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men. Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.
work
I'm not in the type of work where you should rest.
bad liked
I never liked my last name or my first name, but it's not as bad as Frigidaire, so it's fine.
love proud
I love flip-flops. It's the one style of shoe I would be so proud of inventing: the Havaiana.
country great history incredible serene
Bhutan is a very serene country with an incredible history. It has an incredible group of great artisans.
You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you're too into comfort.
people
People say I am the king of painful shoes.
abandoning concept love people
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're too into comfort.
If there is something I like, I buy it and then find somewhere for it. I buy first then I think.
good women
Women like my shoes because they look good on them, not because they look good on the rack.
country store
When I'm doing a store in a country, I always like to consider the concept of the country and the city.
