I design flats like I design heels: They must be seductive, beautiful and comfortable.

I like statement flats that can take you from day to night.

I still work weekends because I like it; I enjoy it. I just don't care.

I got the same industry experience in five years that someone else might have had in 15.

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.

From Edgardo Osorio

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.

From Edgardo Osorio

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.

From Edgardo Osorio

There's something special about shoes, they give you a high like nothing else.

From Edgardo Osorio

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.

From Edgardo Osorio

When I started out, the idea of comfort in shoes was almost a dirty word.
