Manolo

It’s not just Sex and the city’s Carrie Bradshaw who loves her Manolo Blahnik shoes. Manolos are the shoe choice these days for everyone from celebrities to brides-to-be. They’re the shoes that every fashionista covets and the shoes that have caused more than a few credit cards to be maxed out!!. The man behind the Manolo Blahnik shoe has everything to do with his fairly small company. He still sketches, still does the advertising campaigns and is still at the top of his game creating beautiful shoes, with extreme attention to detail, that any woman could relate to. The daytime styles like the perfect pointy toe sling backs couldn’t be more perfect.

Probably the most famous Manolo’s would be the Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes – deemed a sexier version of your childhood favorite. For night, go for something strappy and dressier, with the attention to detail every shoe should have. They are timeless, yet current. Fashionable, yet classic and sexy, yet they have that certain I’m-not-trying-too-hard vibe to them

Two years after moving to the city of lights, he relocated to London, where he began working as a photographer. . She talked Manolo Blahnik into going into the shoe craftsmanship business after she saw some sketches of his work. And, good thing he listened. His success is unmatched and untouchable. Nobody does it quite like Blahnik.

Manolo has a great passion and long refined knowledge for creating the perfect shoe both in structure and design. In an interview he once said of this “I’ve been studying the art of the shoe… for over twenty years. I know every process. I know how to cut and cut away here.... and still make it so that it stays on the foot.... and the heel. Even if it’s twelve centimeters high it still has to feel secure – and that’s a question of balance. That’s why I carve each heel personally myself.”
