design mind projects
Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.
jobs shoes design
My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.
clothes design landscaping
There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.
thinking shoes design
Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.
creativity bored design
If you are not bored by life, and your primary motto is enthusiasm and if you like your friends, family around you, it all translates into your designs. That's what keeps the creativity alive.
design age theater
At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!
children design today
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.
design gone likes
I've always been very detail orientated, but I have gone from embellishment to nudity - from designing for a woman that likes to be dressed to designing for a woman that likes to be undressed.
moving shoes design
A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.
people
People say I am the king of painful shoes.
country great history incredible serene
Bhutan is a very serene country with an incredible history. It has an incredible group of great artisans.
close cross given
My mother's cross was given to me when she died. I like to have it always close to me.
necessary
It is extremely necessary to realize that the world doesn't only have one way of seeing things.
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.
