Changed birth year from 1976 (which would have made him 3 when he had his epiphany) to 1963. This article [1] by Suzy Menkes in the International Herald Tribune in 2005 (dated 2006 but article date per URL is 2005) stated his age at 41, making his birth year 1963 or 1964. This site [2] gives his birth year as 1963. --Nowhy 15:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone verify this statement Britney Spears has been seen wearing his classic black patent peep-toe pumps around Los Angeles in the last couple months. DivineDeeds (talk) 03:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

This article reads like an advertisement from beginning to end. Statements such as "instantly recognizable" and "seen his celebrity status expand" are subjective and should not appear in Wiki at all. Much of the rest of the article is not cited, and needs a source besides his company to avoid being considered straight advertising.

What makes it particularly vapid is the emphasis on his biography, his show-business connections, but very little on what, exactly makes his designs distinctive, or the history of the designs which made him famous. I.e., it's really very close to be a candidate for deletion.
