Trends don't interest me.
Manolo Blahnik

Manolo Blahnik
I'd been to Saint Petersburg before, but there's been a change in people's minds. Maybe it's a fashionable thing, but people have returned to the churches. I went to a Russian Orthodox and a Catholic church - both of the queues, enormous!
Manolo Blahnik
My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet.
Manolo Blahnik
I forget about the diseases that I have. I don't want to know.
Manolo Blahnik
