Calling all shoe fans!



Make a beeline for the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of Manolo’s New Shoes, a compendium of essays and shoe sketches honouring the four-decade career of Spanish fashion designer Manuel Blahnik Rodríguez (better known as Manolo Blahnik).

If you've ever wanted even the briefest glimpse into the mind of this legend, you're in for a real treat. Chock-a-block with over 130 of Blahnik’s witty, seductive drawings collected into one volume, Manolo's New Shoes is organised thematically to express his current inspirations and passions (Africa, architecture, botany, Russia, and urban life).

You can also expect to find contributions from some of the most powerful figures in the fashion industry, including International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes, Vogue's Grace Coddington, and Vanity Fair's Amy Fine Collins.
