years people three
What was called extreme 20 years ago definitely isn't extreme anymore. When I started, I remember people saying, 'Oh my God, I can't walk in that!' It was like, three inches - they look like kitten heels now.
pain high-heels three
I really have not so much sympathy. If Tina Turner and Prince's back-up band can perform on stage in them for three hours, you can't tell me they are impossible to walk in. High heels are pleasure with pain. If you can't walk in them, don't wear them.
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.
man people red
Some people don't even know my name, but they know I am the man with the red soles.
