Patricia, according to my source at Harper's Bazaar, you've been chosen to create all the shoes that will be worn by the new, as yet undisclosed, actress who will play Barbarella in the remake to be released in 2018.

I wouldn't have got this far if... if my dear father hadn't introduced me to the wonderful world of shoes.

My great love affair with the Western. Horses, buffalo, cowboys, Indians, the Great Plains, stagecoaches, deserts, campfires, harmonicas, forts, Apaches, peace pipes, treachery, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon - the whole mythology of the American West has always fascinated me.


My new job as an embalmer, preparing the dead in a pop, glittery way, was working like a charm. Families of the deceased would order the characters they wanted to see their loved ones in one last time. I was allowed to prepare people as Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, Homer Simpson or simply as an anonymous cheerleader or soccer player.

When I was young, very young, very small, barely old enough to walk, I was fascinated by a crazy TV show.

It's been said before, it's been said everywhere, but we were the first to say it at the stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2019: this 2019 will be the year of the gals. We've been training for it for years, of course, but this is our year.

I decided on the spur of the moment to drop everything and leave for California, landing in Los Angeles in the middle of spring. I went to a car dealer. I didn't want a vulgar modern car. So, for the price of a rental, I bought a red Ford Mustang convertible with a white leather interior. And off I went.

On the Internet, people often have a need for simplicity, efficiency and speed. I, on the other hand, like to take the time to explain that our creations have a meaning, a soul.



When we arrived on rue Beaurepaire twenty years ago, at number twenty, where we still are today, the neighborhood looked completely different.
