High heels are like a beauty lift. In a flat, you can feel beautiful, but a stiletto changes your mood, how you move - like a wild, beautiful animal. The idea was always to follow a woman's wardrobe, her desires.
The place where I think social media fails is in showing the knowledge, the tradition of stitching the clothing, of cutting the fabric, of the tannery, of the skinning of the jewels - this knowledge needs respect. Online and social media is the future, but we need to learn from the past, too.
People online will tell you what they really think - there's no diplomacy. They're honest; it's good to have the feedback immediately.
You cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion; it's too realistic. When I design, I dream.
