Fragrance Is So Intimate For A Lot

[while Designing] I'm Mixing Two Lines Of Thought Really: Me As A Designer For Women And Then Me As A Man. At The Start Of The Design Process It's The Designer For Women That Comes To The Forefront - Sketching And Revising The Silhouette. Then The Man Comes Into The Picture - And I Look At The Shoe From A Very Masculine Point Of View. Then There Is A Conflict Between The Two Sides Of Me. Sometimes The Man Wins, And Sometimes The Designer Wins.

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.

If You Do What You Love, It Is The Best Way To Relax.

In Designing Shoes For Myself; I'm Not Thinking Of A Specific Person Or Catwalk. I'm Just Not Thinking Of Clothes At All. I'm Always Thinking Of A Naked Woman, Actually.

I Never Had A Plan. I Have To Say, I'm Very Shocked When People Start A Company And Say, 'in Five Years I Want To Launch A Perfume, Or In 10 Years I Want To Have This.' How Can You Know?
