“There’s the sexy side, and then there is the Parisian side, which is complementary but also the opposite,” If you are very chic you might not need an extra drop of chicness, so you go for the sexy side and buy my shoes because they are tarty. We get very smart women coming in and buying a pair to feel a little more sl**tish. And then, thank God, we also get the hookers coming in the store, who buy my shoes because they are super-chic. You see, whatever you have, if you add a drop of the opposite, then it just becomes a little more sexy.”

“I prefer shoes that undress to shoes that dress, a successful shoe is a shoe that accentuates nudity. The woman remains entirely nude when she wears those shoes. The shoe becomes the privilege of nudity.”
