istanbul literature architecture
Istanbul is inspiring because it has its own code of architecture, literature, poetry, music.
necessary
It is extremely necessary to realize that the world doesn't only have one way of seeing things.
close cross given
My mother's cross was given to me when she died. I like to have it always close to me.
good women
Women like my shoes because they look good on them, not because they look good on the rack.
country store
When I'm doing a store in a country, I always like to consider the concept of the country and the city.
man people red
Some people don't even know my name, but they know I am the man with the red soles.
abandoning concept love people
I hate the whole concept of comfort! It's like when people say: 'Well we're not really in love but we're in a comfortable relationship.' You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you're too into comfort.

Bhutan is a very serene country with an incredible history. It has an incredible group of great artisans.
people
People say I am the king of painful shoes.
bad liked
I never liked my last name or my first name, but it's not as bad as Frigidaire, so it's fine.
work
I'm not in the type of work where you should rest.
nice shoes feet
I'm always taking into consideration how the shoe will look on the foot, its relation to the ankle and the leg - that's very important. I often see shoes that seem interesting or nice until a woman puts them on. then a lot of shoes look very clunky, and nobody likes to see that.
design mind projects
Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.
queens shoes special
If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.
