My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.
When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening. I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection. The good thing is that I have houses to go to whenever I'm working. I draw according to the place.
I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up.
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.
Sometimes women feel uncomfortable when men stare at them when they try on shoes.
