I never met a stripe I didn't like.
There's something special about shoes, they give you a high like nothing else.
Florence is charming, cozy, beautiful, inspiring - it has so many great places to go to and so many unique things to see that you won't find anywhere else!
I love art, being so close to the galleries, being by the water - and sunsets from the terrace.
It's as if to be interesting, you had to be depressed and messy, but that's complete nonsense.
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 was lucky that I started very young, since I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do. But my father is very conservative, and he never considered fashion to be a real career but something I could pursue as a hobby. He wanted me to be a doctor, and at one point, I thought of becoming a plastic surgeon.
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.
