Zitat des Tages von Edgardo Osorio:
I got the same industry experience in five years that someone else might have had in 15.
Up until the 1960s, women would meet designers in their private ateliers, and together they would build a relationship and a wardrobe. Then, all of a sudden, designers disappeared into their own private bubble, and there was no communication.
I like the idea of sending my Aquazurra girls out with a lucky charm under their feet.
A sexy shoe is one that men like.
Shoes are very emotional. For women, they carry the message that you want to give to the world. One day you want to be sexy, or super powerful at your job - you wear a great pump. If you want to be on-the-go and running after your kids - you wear a great flat.
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!
We have such a loyal following in London that we decided to open a shop, and I find Albemarle Street extremely charming and special.
We do high heels, and people know us for that, but the idea of wearing a flat from day to night feels special.
For me, I knew the Christy flat was a beautiful shoe, but I had no idea the incredible trend that would follow - I mean, it's the most copied thing ever!
I like statement flats that can take you from day to night.
I've had many ideas come from clients.
Women dress very much according to their moods, so when you see their shoes, it really shows you the character and what they want to show to the world, and what they are feeling at that time.
I personally approve all the shoes that go into production, and I have a level of involvement with the factories that other people don't have.
America is our biggest market, and I really do believe if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
Even though my shoes are different from Ferragamo's aesthetic, which is more classic, I learned the importance of fit and quality. We were making shoes like they used to, by hand, and I carried that with me.
Historically, I think you can really judge a person by their shoes.
I think every celebrity that I love wears my shoes. I'm a particular fan of Julianne Moore, and I adore Jennifer Lawrence. There are so many beautiful women. I love Poppy Delevingne, of course; I even made a collection with her.
People want fashion from us, whereas they might buy core styles from other designers.
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.
The shoes and the eyes are windows to a woman's spirit.
I was surrounded by women and all I would hear is of them complaining about their shoes. Back then, 'comfort' was a dirty word in fashion footwear. This was before fur loafers or sneakers. So, I wanted to create a shoe that was like slipping your foot into a glove - something beautiful, feminine, and sexy at the same time.
Being inspired is one thing, but completely knocking off a design is another. There is a big difference.
I was the first one to say that there could be comfortable, sexy shoes, and it's a big part of our brand.
When people take advantage of you and make a business out of it, that's not nice.
I love art, being so close to the galleries, being by the water - and sunsets from the terrace.
Whenever I went to a wedding or a party, girls kept complaining about their shoes. I love to dance, and I wanted them to have shoes they could keep on all night.
Every woman looks good in a flamenco dress.
For me, it's important that I can talk to my customers all over the world. They can comment on what they like, tell me what fits - we have a daily dialogue. I can also see what she looks like and how she wears my shoes, which is a huge advantage. Thank God for Instagram; it helps me keep connected.
I design flats like I design heels: They must be seductive, beautiful and comfortable.
