The shoes created by this designer are always easily recognizable – they have a tapered toe, a spike heel and something really unique in terms of colors, fabrics or decoration. Manolo Blahnik has been creating shoes for over 30 years now, and has developed his own special style. Yet, the designer is not ready to follow the known trail and is still experimenting, seeking exclusiveness and art in every shoe pair.
Manolo Blahnik, who is half Spanish and half Czech, has graduated from a university in Geneva, then studied design in Paris and started developing his own shoe styles in Britain.
Initially the designer also tried himself in clothes design. However, when he showed his work to Diana Vreeland, a legendary editor-in-chief of the Vogue magazine, she advised him that he worked with the shoes only. In 1973 Manolo Blahnik opened his first boutique in London, which until today remains the favorite place where all the designer’s fans from the entire world like to purchase their shoes.
The most famous Manolo Blahnik shoe is a spiked heel pump.
Manolo Blahnik usually uses classical shapes as a basis for his shoes, then adding some unusual elements, painting them bright pink, for instance, or decorating the straps with small pompons.
For more casual designs, Manolo Blahnik prefers bright green crocodile skin, supplementing them with funny stings.
Sedara 1991 shoe is also incredibly popular among women. This shoe is a combination of black silk, purple sateen and a large brooch with sparkling stones.
Manolo Blahnik is the brand that is famous throughout the world. However, up until now the brand only has one designer – there has never been more. The man who created the brand continues doing the work all by himself.
Saying that Monolo Blahnik shoes are popular among the celebrities is saying nothing. Almost everyone on the famous horizon has at least a couple in their possession. But of course the most famous fan of the shoe is Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City, whose fascination with Manolo Blahnik almost turned the shoe into another character on the show.
