Did you always know that you’d design shoes? If you didn’t follow in your father’s footsteps, what would you have done instead?
It’s always been part of my life, it felt natural and was not something I chose, it was just my life. I worked alongside my father until he sold the company and for the first time I found myself not working on shoes.
That’s when I realized what shoes meant to me, and that my life is about making shoes. It’s my way to express myself and talk to the world. Then it became my choice and I chose to make my own line. But if I wasn’t a designer, maybe I would have been a sailor. Who knows?
How can you tell if a shoe is of good quality and fit?
High heels will never be really comfortable, but they definitely shouldn’t be painful. When you try shoes on, walk on the ground and not a carpet because the heel sinks into the carpet and changes the shape and stability. It’s very important that your foot touches the entire sole of the shoe.
