Manolo Blahnik hates platform shoes
The shoe designing legend Manolo Blahnik - whose creations are worn by the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kylie Minogue – says he is not a fan of platform shoes on anyone.
He said: "I hate platforms. The young girl who is a bit chubby, or whatever, she thinks platforms make her look taller. But no, they just make her look weird."
Having said that, Manolo - who now lives in the British city of Bath - is fond of unusual shoes, as long as the wearer is comfortable at all times.
He added: "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."
Discussing his past, Manolo admits he finds it difficult to look back.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "I keep looking ahead and thinking about challenges, because that's what keeps me going. If I look back I feel frightened, not happy, because my life is a bit of a mystery to me."
