The Man Behind The Shoes 

Manolo Blahnik (born November 27, 1942) is a Spanish fashion designer and an eponymous fashion label, one of the world's most prominent in women's shoes. Born in Santa Cruz de La Palma in the Canary Islands to a Czech father and a Spanish mother and raised on a banana plantation, Blahnik graduated from the University of Geneva with a degree in literature in 1965 and went on to study art in Paris. He moved to London in 1970 and opened his first shop in 1973 by buying out an existing shop called Zapata in Chelsea. He was awarded an honourary title of Commander of the British Empire in the Queen's 2007 Birthday Honours List, for services to the British fashion industry. There are three Blahnik boutiques in the United States; located at New York, New York; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Boston, Massachusetts.

Most Popular Styles of Manolo Blahniks 

Manolo Blahnik Black Slingbacks: Manolo has a pair of black alligator halter or slingback shoes. Simple black singbacks can be worn with pants, skirts, dresses, jeans... pretty much anything. Alligator products will immediately take you up into the thousands range, so I'd definitely buy some other simple leather ones.
  • Manolo Blahnik Black Heels and Brown Heels: These are pretty obvious, but you should have a classic pair of brown and black heels. If I find a style I like, I usually just buy it in different colors.
  • Manolo Blahnik Patent Leather: I love patent leather classics for the winter. They're classy, endure cold weather better than regular leather and are easier to clean! The Manolo Patent Leather d'Orsay is a great example of one to look for!
  • Manolo Blahnik Metallic Sandals: A pair of metallic sandals - whether gold, silver or pewter - will take you a long way. The Manolo Gold Metallic Sandal, Manolo Blahnik Rhinestone-Trim Sandal and Manolo Blahnik Metallic Lucite Slides are great examples.
  • Manolo Blahnik Black Sandals: When it comes to sandals, keep it really simple! Flats or heels, and open toe. It's a basic. If you're ready for more fun, try rhinestones and different colors!
  • Manolo Blahnik Ankle Boots: A classic black napa leather ankle boot is available this season for $790. It's simple, has a pointed toe and 4.5" stacked stilleto heel. The sides have elastic gored insets so it's easy to get your foot in and out of the boot.
  • Manolo Blahnik Tall Stretch Boots: I haven't seen any yet this season, but my suggestion is to find a pair of black leather knee-length boots (make sure they fit snug around your calves) and a pair of brown suede boots.



  • Other Suggestions on Manolo Blahnik Shoe Choice:

    • Colors: Blacks and browns are obviously classics, but you can also have fun with colors. You may also want to try beige heels, navy heels (especially if you wear lots of navy suits, skirts and slacks), green (dark olive), dark purple or red.
    • Rhinestones: Rhinestones and crystals have been huge these last 1-2 years. Generally, I like the idea - but I think it's important not to 'overdo' it. Some rhinestones on your shoes and/or belt can make your outfit more fun.
    • Leopard-print: I wouldn't recommend it...
    • Strappy shoes: Straps can be quite sexy, but too many straps can make your legs look less long, particularly if you have a lot of straps around your ankle (and above).
