I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!' That's not what I want to project. But I'm not a sadist. I don't believe suffering makes you beautiful. But comfort is not part of my creative process.
I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent
You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.
