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
I wish I was making shoes instead of reading or watching movies, which is what I do in my free time.
Manolo Blahnik
That kind of woman who used to be there at the time is not here any longer. In 10 years, people disappear. But I fantasize still about those kinds of women, and that kind of life that doesn't really exist any longer.

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.

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
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 love exaggerated, and I love eccentric, but you must be comfortable. Otherwise it is nonsense. There is nothing charming about a woman who cannot walk in her shoes.
Manolo Blahnik
It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?
Manolo Blahnik
The greatest luxury is being free.
Manolo Blahnik
It's the only thing I really enjoy - so fresh, even now that I'm doing the new sampling. I'm dying to go to the factory, which is like nobody's idea of fun. But it's mine.
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
What is fashion? It's discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail.
Manolo Blahnik
I'm loyal to my friends, but I have so few now.I force myself to see people when they're here. Or when I'm here. I don't live in England that much now in the sense that I spend time in factories. I'm such a factory man now. This is really what I enjoy doing.
Manolo Blahnik
Maintenance is terribly important.

These are very dainty and superrefined, but really vile.
