Synopsis

For over three decades, Manolo Blahník’s shoes, and his sense of the theatrical wedded to the finest materials and superlative craftsmanship, have inspired fanatical devotion. This beautiful book collects together over 120 of the exquisite drawings Blahník makes at the outset of the design process. Inimitable in style, these drawings – superbly reproduced in this book with special inks – vividly convey Blahník’s unique vision.

About this title

Review:

Divided by decade, from the 1970s to the 2000s, the collection is diverse and fun, and as documentary as a museum catalogue. It should appeal to any fashionista or design aficionado anyone with a sense of shoes as art.

A must-read for any Manolo maniac.

Manolo Blahník's shoes are as good as sex...and they last longer.--Madonna
