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.
dream children periods
There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.
inspiring graduation dream
It is a great thing to be at your age... You are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. But also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. When you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and I will go all the way.' You have the age where you can change. You get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. Your age is still an age of exploration.
dream shoes drawing
Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.
beautiful dream focus
I never had the dream to be a great designer. My focus was just to do beautiful things.
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.
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.
man people red
Some people don't even know my name, but they know I am the man with the red soles.
Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people.
