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.
Every woman needs a few Cinderella moments in life, and slipping a foot into a Manolo Blahnik shoe is just that. The iconic designer is our go-to for show-stopping shoes that will last for party seasons to come
For more than 40 years, Manolo Blahnik, one of the world’s most respected shoe designers, has been crafting iconic footwear loved by stylish women across the globe, including the Duchess of Sussex, Michelle Obama, Anna Wintour and, of course, Carrie Bradshaw.
Born in the Canary Islands, Blahnik started his career designing theatrical sets, before being persuaded to switch his focus to shoe design by then editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Diana Vreeland. Blahnik established his eponymous brand in 1971 and the rest, as they say, is history.
