Every footwear collection should include a pair of knockout evening shoes, and trust us when we say that they don’t come any more knockout than Manolo Blahnik. The iconic shoe designer is world-renowned for beautiful stiletto heels that combine timeless elegance with playful fantasy; think dainty mules covered in dazzling embellishments, ladylike slingbacks realised in bold leopard spots, and refined point-toe pumps in emerald or ruby satin, adorned with the signature Blahnik crystal buckle. 

But the beauty of a Manolo Blahnik shoe doesn’t only lie in looks; here’s a designer who focuses on both style and substance. Each heel is carved by Mr Blahnik himself – first on a machine, and then by hand with a chisel and file – until it is exactly right. Such expertise and attention to detail means that every shoe is perfectly cut and crafted to marry exquisite aesthetic appeal with wearability and comfort – we’ve spent several evenings dancing the night away in ours. 

Whether investing in a classic BB pump or fanciful satin slipper, adding a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes to your occasion-wear arsenal is something you will never regret.
