Style Scoop

What’s cool, cutting edge & important.

ON finding THE RIGHT FIT “The classic imagery of elegance is a fragile weakness. I don’t like that. I like the idea of a feminine but modern shape: You don’t have to wear a 20-centimetre-high stiletto to show that you are strong.”

ON FEELING AS GOOD AS YOU LOOK “I design shoes not just for a show-off moment but for pleasure. It’s about wearing something that allows you to feel feminine. When you wear something you are very pleased with, it shows. When you feel really good, you smile.”
