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.

More quotes by 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.

I'm totally twisted. Instead of, Oh god, I don't have platforms - they won't like me, I was much more, I'm doing what I'm doing, and if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy, but that's just what I'm gonna do. It gave me strength. It worked for me.

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.

I've never been tempted to do these hideous furniture shoes.

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
I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.
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.

Trends don't interest me.

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
My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet.
Manolo Blahnik
I always love China, especially the old China.
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 don't know why my shoes are so popular - I am always surprised and mystified by it.
Manolo Blahnik
The greatest luxury is being free.
