I was the first one to say that there could be comfortable, sexy shoes, and it's a big part of our brand.

My retail partners, they are my brand ambassadors. They're the ones who are selling the shoes to women.

Shoes are very emotional. For women, they carry the message that you want to give to the world. One day you want to be sexy, or super powerful at your job - you wear a great pump. If you want to be on-the-go and running after your kids - you wear a great flat.

A sexy shoe is one that men like.

The shoes and the eyes are windows to a woman's spirit.

My shoes aren't minimalist, but they are about a new simplicity.
