'comfy,' That's One Of The Worst Words!

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.

I Was Born 20 Years After My Eldest Sister. I Was The Pampered Child. That Kind Of Love Gives You An Almost Unbreakable Backbone. My Mother Had Three Kids Before Me. She Let Me Be Completely Free. I Just Never Had Anything To Beat Myself Up Over.

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.

I Like To See People Who Are Survivors Wearing My Shoes. I Am Fascinated By People Who Can Bounce Back.

I’ve Always Been Very Detail Orientated, But I Have Gone From Embellishment To Nudity - From Designing For A Woman That Likes To Be Dressed To Designing For A Woman That Likes To Be Undressed.
