Pope John Paul II

[St. Francis] looked upon creation with the eyes of one who could recognize in it the marvelous work of the hand of God.

Stella McCartney

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.
