About Manolo Blahnik
Manolo Blahnik established his self-named label in London around 1970, after Vogue editor Diana Vreeland famously urged him to "stick to the extremities and make shoes" upon seeing his sketches. At a time when platforms dominated fashion, Blahnik revived the sleek, sculptural stiletto heel, building a reputation for footwear as wearable art.
Each pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes is still hand-finished using traditional techniques. The label achieved global cult status through its association with Sex and the City, cementing the name as shorthand for the ultimate luxury shoe.
