JIMMY CHOO

After all, it's very important for any big-name designer to have a couture range. I leave the ready-to-wear to my partner and team.

It’s a beautiful, distinctive art, and shoes are like the foundations. If the foundations aren’t right, the building won’t stand upright, and if a woman’s balance isn’t right, nothing else is.

I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.
