There are principles
I never compromise on
when walking in high heels.
Certain things must never be done.
The first—
something I have written
about many times— is this:
Never land on the heel first.
This is not only a matter
of aesthetics
but of the body’s structure.
The second—
When moving the leg forward,
never create space between
the knees.
This is purely a matter
of aesthetics.
Even the slightest gap between
the knees can undo everything—
no matter how exquisite the dress
no matter how refined the makeup.
In that instant,
femininity disappears.
And yet
this is a truth most people
never notice.
If you walk without awareness,
the knees will naturally separate.
That is why a deliberate
technique is required—
to bring the back knee to
gently meet the front knee.
For this,
the body must be aligned,
and supported by the right
musculature— so that even
in contact, the axis remains stable.
At the same time,
walking too fast will inevitably
create space between the knees.
Grace requires a certain tempo.
Elegance does not arise
from environment or lifestyle alone.
It is also constructed upon
a discipline— a form of order
expressed through technique.
And this—
is the “axis” you have
been seeking.
