People are afraid because I'm candid. They're always worried I'm going to get into trouble.
From Steve Madden
You need to define yourself in the marketplace.
You have to be a little contrite to get redemption.
I could design an $800 shoe line; it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.
There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business.
Growing is an important part of the business, but more important than that is to get better.
I don't fret much about the natural life spans of shoe companies. If stores don't do the right things, they cease to exist, and that doesn't trouble me at all.
So much of design is context.
I've been making shoes my whole life.
I'd like to work with Damien Hirst.
