About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs. – Manolo Blahnik
I hate these platforms that are all over the place today they are all about grabbing attention. They are suburban! I never do a platform. Well, I did, in the 1970s, but that was a bad experience. – Manolo Blahnik
I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant. – Manolo Blahnik
I just dont get death at all. Yes, its there. But I dont get it. – Manolo Blahnik
When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little. – Miuccia Prada
