beautiful dream character
I was born in Paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time I was 12 I had started going to the movies by myself. Most of the movies of that period never appealed to me. I didn't like the 'naturalism,' the sad or the 'down-to-earth' characters. What I wanted from film was fantasy, dreams, funny situations, extravagant decor - and beautiful women.
heart character curves
A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it.
character men shoes
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
character shoes grace
Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.
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.
