I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.

Whether you eat meat of not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet's resources.

I think deep down I'm spiritual, but there's nothing I practice.

The really great thing about my shop is that there's not one dead animal in it. ... Manolo's got a load of fabric shoes as well! We use plastic, fabric, rubber- anything but leather. I almost feel like I've been put here to show everyone that it's unnecessary.

Sometimes I wish I were less sensible.

I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.

I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
