I Perfectly Understand The Obsession With Shoes.

The Core Of My Work Is Dedicated Not To Pleasing Women, But To Pleasing Men.

I Was The Youngest Kid. When I Was Five, My Sisters Were 17, 19, And 21, Already Becoming Women. I Would See How Different They Would Be Around One Another And Around Men, Even My Father.

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.

My Relationship With Shoes Has Always Been Linked To Shoes, Women, Women In Their Shoes And Performance.

The Shiny Red Color Of The Soles Has No Function Other Than To Identify To The Public That They Are Mine. I Selected The Color Because It Is Engaging, Flirtatious, Memorable, And The Color Of Passion.
