Blahnik: I Don'T Like Fashionable Shoes.

Manolo Blahnik

Manolo Blahnik, 67, has quick thinking and fast speech.

He knows his old heart and mind, so try to avoid receiving live TV interviews.

Of course, in his present position, there is no need to be afraid of disaster.

Since the movie of "sex and the city", he has been more than once exposed to the weariness of "that pair of shoes" - the blue satin high heels that Carrie Bradshaw wore in the film, which sold more than 500 pounds in the real world, still in short supply, and the waiting list is endless.

"I've been making those shoes all the time, and now everyone is doing the buckle.

"

He complained, "although I like Fang buckle, it's just a pair of heels without heels, or even my best works.

I feel very embarrassed! "

There are many women in the world who are fascinated by Manolo Blahnik because of sex and the city, and such a success is obviously not a rare shoe maker who has been in line for over 40 years.

Last year, when he was invited to DIO, Beverly Hills,

He also felt a bit awkward when he left footprints. "I've worked with three films in my whole life."

He said.

And his dislike for star fashion may be his life.

"In the United States, people regard me as an idol like Madonna, but I am not."

I never wanted to be so famous.

If my shoes sell well, of course, if they sell badly, I will do it myself. "

Manolo Blahnik has been operating in the form of small workshops for many years.

There are only 6 people in the team, and the manufacturer is a small family factory in Italy.

"I don't know how long this business will last, but at least it will live as long as I do."

He said so.

A: I don't care about trends. I only love shoes.

I feel like an old vampire, and communicating with young people is very important to me.

I don't like "

"I just make a new style every season and constantly adjust my design.

I think the new season means evolution rather than style change.

A:

Children are intimacy, because they walk and integrate with their shoes.

When they wear beautiful clothes, they can still see their shoes and feel their presence.

Shoes can determine women's posture and way of walking, giving them attitude and self-confidence, which are not what clothes can do.

A: flat shoes make you look more like a cat. Think of Bardot wearing "God created women".

Dancing, no one can be as sexy as she does.

Flat shoes are more elegant than high heels, but you have to learn how to walk gracefully.

Think of Audrey Hepburn in sweet girl. She moves in a flat shoe like a reindeer.

Please remember, you have to dress them up with femininity, and you should practice more walking posture.

I hope 2010 will be a flat shoe!

A: I know some women can wear my shoes for 25 years.

The surface is a bit damaged. It looks very beautiful.

I also know that a woman has sent her Chanel coat to repair many times. Her sleeves are worn out. It doesn't matter. The things bought at a high price always stand the test of time.

If you have a limited budget, you can seize the opportunity to discount.

A: I enjoy the process of making shoes most. Everything happens naturally, because I am not used to thinking deeply.

There is only one small group (6 people) in my workshop who is helping me. I hate dealing with factories because I am a perfect person.

I was especially excited about the two or three days when the waiting shoes were released.

It was a very difficult time, and I was almost at a loss.

But I like the moment of creation - in fact, I hate the word "creation" or "

"Better.

A: it's ugly!

The shoes made by these fashion designers are crazy and ugly, and their proportion and design are very bad.

I hate the way they put flowers and jewellery on their shoes. They don't look like shoes unless it's an irony.

。

You can design shoes very crazy, but the premise is to wear comfortable, can walk.

A: I will never expand the brand by selling the company.

I am willing to work with John Galliano for the Christian Christian's advanced customization show.

Because I admire his talent very much, I find it difficult to cooperate with a luxury machine.

I am one of the few remaining brands in the fashion world. The world of money has nothing to do with me. As long as this tight little team can continue to operate in my way, I will be satisfied.
