My Relationship With Shoes Has Always Been

I Hate The Idea Of Natural. For Example, I Prefer Gardens To Wild Nature. I Like To See The Human Touch. High Heels Are A Complete Invention - An Extravagance. They're Far From Natural, But It's The Impracticality That I Adore. I Prefer The Useless To The Useful, The Sophisticated To The Natural.

I'm Always Taking Into Consideration How The Shoe Will Look On The Foot, Its Relation To The Ankle And The Leg - That's Very Important. I Often See Shoes That Seem Interesting Or Nice Until A Woman Puts Them On. Then A Lot Of Shoes Look Very Clunky, And Nobody Likes To See That.

When I Have Meetings Scheduled So Tight That I Can't Go To The Loo, That's Where I Draw The Line!

I Never Had The Dream To Be A Great Designer. My Focus Was Just To Do Beautiful Things.

Istanbul Is Inspiring Because It Has Its Own Code Of Architecture, Literature, Poetry, Music.
