My relationship with shoes has always been linked to shoes, women, women in their shoes and performance.

"I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be."

"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."
