I saw these girls like Sherilyn Fenn and Lara Flynn Boyle that should be working now instead of these anonymous girls. They're all the same.

Trends don't interest me.
Manolo Blahnik
It was a different social structure. I'd go to [David] Bailey's for dinner at 10:30. There were always girls there and a house full of . . . I don't know, anybody. Cecil Beaton, Diana Cooper . . . And there I am sitting down with these creatures of the 20th century, and it was normal to us.
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
I'm always kind of contradictory to what people want and what's selling. But maybe I should care now because I have two or three more outlets. I have to be more adaptable color-wise to what people want. It's usually just black and pink, and that's it.

The greatest luxury is being free.

I thought Victoria Beckham was going to be one of those pop girls, but she's absolutely the complete opposite. She's a working girl. She knows what she wants. And when she doesn't know, she really prepares herself. I love this working type of women. And she's a girl from - I don't even know where she's from.
Manolo Blahnik
When I was a boy I remember the women, how they dressed, how they behaved, what was important to them at the time. Like Lee Marvin and Gloria Grahame in The Big Heat.
Manolo Blahnik
I only saw one collection of Victoria Beckham, and I thought it was very much like Pierre Cardin or Marcel Rochas dresses. She's thought about it, and she knows what she wants. And people buy it, so that means she works. She has this incredible will power to do something that she likes to do. And I love that. I respect that.
Manolo Blahnik
The only people that come to my mind in the last years are Lee McQueen and John Galliano. Truly, truly . . . How do I say? Full of ideas. Full of the smell. They just had this incredible passion for what they did.
Manolo Blahnik
Passion is passion. It's a sort of madness and possession of what you do or what you think. This is the difference of life: passion and commerce, which most of the people know as P.C. But people have just got C now instead of P.
Manolo Blahnik
What is fashion? It's discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail.
Manolo Blahnik
People walk differently in high heels. Your body sways to a different kind of tempo.
Manolo Blahnik
I forget about the diseases that I have. I don't want to know.
Manolo Blahnik
It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?
Manolo Blahnik
My most treasured clothing item is first suit that I made - acid green. It was disgusting, but I love it. It's been mended a million times, but I still wear it.
Manolo Blahnik
You get two weeks after you do a shoe where you can test whether it's good or not - if you're going to like it in 20 years. Then I know that it's going to be my shoe for a long time. That doesn't happen very often, but it happens.
Manolo Blahnik
Everything is global now. It's not London, it's not Spain, it's not Italy - everything is everywhere. So you have to be everywhere, I guess.
Manolo Blahnik
I'm relating to a period that doesn't exist anymore.
Manolo Blahnik
I'm going to do what I do, even more exaggerated. This is my attitude always. I don't betray myself at all.
Manolo Blahnik
A lot of things trigger my inspiration. It can be the most banal things.
