fashion crazy ideas
I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.
fashion growing-up shoes
I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up. ''Vogue,' what is that?'
girl fashion children
I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.
fashion high-heels shoes
I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.
growing-up vogue fashion-world
I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up.
fashion blood sweat
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place. It's like voodoo; we don't want things that are soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. I adore life, and I'm very easygoing - and it shows in my work.
fashion high-heels care
There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.
fashion thinking giving
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
fashion interesting voodoo
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
beautiful fashion men
A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.
fashion pain high-heels
High heels are pleasure with pain.
fashion hate shoes
I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
shoes bags fashion-shoe
A woman can carry a bag, but it is the shoe that carries the woman.
fashion attitude high-heels
Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.
