There's something special about shoes, they give you a high like nothing else.

We do high heels, and people know us for that, but the idea of wearing a flat from day to night feels special.

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

We have such a loyal following in London that we decided to open a shop, and I find Albemarle Street extremely charming and special.

I was surrounded by women and all I would hear is of them complaining about their shoes. Back then, 'comfort' was a dirty word in fashion footwear. This was before fur loafers or sneakers. So, I wanted to create a shoe that was like slipping your foot into a glove - something beautiful, feminine, and sexy at the same time.

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.
