I Don't Repeat That Many Styles If I Can Help, Although Some Have Become Classics. I Try Not To Repeat. I'd Rather Surprise People.

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 Mother Was A Huge Influence On Me - She Was A Free Spirit And Helped Me Appreciate, From A Very Early Age, That Everyone Is Different.

The Red Sole Was Born From Red Nail Polish. I Am Giving Back To Beauty What The Shoes Took From The Nails Many Years Ago.
