Hi Jessica, Welcome to L’Officiel, we’d love to know a bit about the beginning of the woman behind the brand. Could you recall one of the first designs you created that instantaneously led to the brand’s rise in stardom?
The style that made me famous was my first design, the fancy stiletto clear pump. It was basically the first real Cinderella slipper that you could actually wear versus watch on television.
According to you, is a shoe designer more like an artisan or an artist, or even like a fashion architect?
For me, I would like to say that I call myself an artist, while many people call me an alien. I have a different way of gathering ideas and putting them into the marketplace.
I don’t really hold back on “sexy,” I want all of my shoes to be a walking piece of “Seduction,” no matter what color they are in, they will always stand out amongst other shoes in the marketplace.
