The shoes and the eyes are windows to a woman's spirit.
When I sit down and design, it's shoes that always appear.
I love to turn an idea that is in my head into reality.
I want to know who my client is. I see her on Instagram, but it's another thing to get to chat with her.
I've had many ideas come from clients.
My retail partners, they are my brand ambassadors. They're the ones who are selling the shoes to women.
America is our biggest market, and I really do believe if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
No one needs anything; they have to want it.
We do high heels, and people know us for that, but the idea of wearing a flat from day to night feels special.
People want fashion from us, whereas they might buy core styles from other designers.
Every woman looks good in a flamenco dress.
A sexy shoe is one that men like.
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 like the idea of sending my Aquazurra girls out with a lucky charm under their feet.
Historically, I think you can really judge a person by their shoes.
I love art, being so close to the galleries, being by the water - and sunsets from the terrace.
I wanted to create flats that are as chic as heels - flats you don't have to apologize for.
I want to make shoes that a woman can walk in. That's kind of what they're made for.
I think of my customer as a woman who wants to look beautiful and be able to walk.
I love to see a woman in a sexy, strappy sandal no matter what. It just looks beautiful.
For some reason, many designers are in fashion, but they don't love women. I love women, and I follow my clients on Instagram.
As a male designer, you always need a woman's touch.
Avoid patent leather, pink, and crystals.
I still work weekends because I like it; I enjoy it. I just don't care.
