I own one pair of Prada shoes. They make my feet hurt... It's not the shoes' fault; they are exquisitely made. I blame my feet. I've got my mother's feet.
I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes; when they are in great danger I recover them.
Englishwomen's shoes look as if they had been made by someone who had often heard shoes described, but had never seen any.
It’s a beautiful, distinctive art, and shoes are like the foundations. If the foundations aren’t right, the building won’t stand upright, and if a woman’s balance isn’t right, nothing else is.
I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things.
Someone from Manolo Blahnik went into my shop and said: 'These shoes are not vegetarian.' That's the highest compliment, because you just can't tell that they are, and they are. My mum taught me to have a soul.
I think I make shoes quite okay.
I love Italy, and that's where I make my own shoes. But the French really do respect designers. Italy is totally different; footwear is an industry. The shoes are all about craft and luxury. French shoes are more about straight lines, and they are way more geometric.
Who is wurs shod, than the shoemakers wyfe,With shops full of shoes all hir lyfe?
