The shoes of Manolo Blahnik have been called magical totems of
success and femininity (The Guardian) and boast a cult following of
devotees the world over. With their sleek elegance and distinctive
fashion edge, Manolos are at once fascinating and timeless, their
design a beautiful combination of chic, playfulness, and flair.
This book explores the creativity and influences of this modern
master through an alphabetical chronicle of the designer s loves
and inspiration. Blahnik s alphabet gives insight into the art and
craftsmanship of shoemaking and includes whimsical musings on his
relationships with figures such as Anna Piaggi, Loulou de la
Falaise, and Diana Vreeland; the inspiration he draws from works by
Goya, Zurbaran, Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, and Zaha Hadid; and his
admiration for fellow designers such as Azzedine Alaia, Balenciaga,
and Yves Saint Laurent. These highly personal anecdotes drawn from
conversations between Blahnik and the author and accompanied by
original sketches and new photography offer the reader a rare
opportunity to learn the vision behind the shoes as told by a
fashion legend. The book which will accompany a traveling global
exhibition is introduced by an illustrated essay, which describes
the designer s illustrious forty-five-year career in the fashion
industry.
