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.

My business partner gave me a drone, a small helicopter you pilot with an iPhone, and also it has a camera so you can see what it sees on the iPhone. Great fun. I fly it outside in Portugal. It's wonderful to oversee gardens.

High heels empower women in a way.

You know, you cannot be comfortable on a high heel shoes the way you would be in sneakers. But, you know, not everyone wants to be on sneakers. Sneakers are for different purposes.

The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable, and the color of passion.

I'm really not a fascist. Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with. It's a beautiful day, you have an armless shirt: it goes with flip-flops.

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.

A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.

High heels are pleasure with pain.

A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.

Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes.

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.

You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.

If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

Only buy clothes that you plan to keep forever. It's important to see trends for what they are: a game.

I love the noise of my wooden clogs on my wooden floor. Dancers wear clogs. They're good for you.

Fashion is a hard business.

Dancing is the last sport with no sponsor.

If you don't want to get bored with what you're doing, you have to change.

It's always fun when people ask you for advice.

I was the muse of Tom Ford and Gucci for years, but that was a long time ago.

Fashion isn't something you can buy; you need to have the sense of it, and most people don't.
