I'm like an old vampire, so it's important to talk to young people.
england learnt royal
The greatest shoemaker in England for many, many decades; he used to be the royal shoe-maker for the Queen Mother. This is where I learnt my trade.
change season
I think of each new season as an evolution, not a change in style.
buy girls
I never thought that I would sell to young people, but now girls who are 14 and 15 buy my shoes.
I put everything I think is sexy into my shoes.
sounds
I do and re-do things that I used to do in a flash, because I want to be more perfectionist about these things. Maybe it sounds pompous and pretentious, but that's the way I feel.
blur 80s
Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.
old-things bags
I'm an old bag - I like old thing.
wear women
I like women with style to wear my shoes.
