Manolo Blahnik
15 September 2013
"Look at these shoes - are they just not decadent and beautiful!" demanded Manolo Blahnik at the unveiling of his spring/summer 2014 collection this morning, which he introduced by way of a Michael Roberts film screened in the plush screening room at the Covent Garden Hotel.
Barely able to sit still, Blahnik giggled throughout the film and congratulated his cast - including Rupert Everett and Lucy Birley - as we were given a sensational visual feast: set in Loulou's on Hertford Street, the set sumptuously dressed by Rifat Ozbek, the hats provided by Stephen Jones and the shoes, of course, taking centre stage - being kissed, danced, and taking sensuously slow steps to let us take in every stitch. "You can see Spanish influences; also the turn of the last century in these embroideries," said Manolo. "You can just imagine those courtesans having their effect in these," he exclaimed, pointing out a pair of gold flats that could have been spun from pure gold.
Pink and red jewelled, yellow and navy tasselled, black and white checked, embroidered, embellished - it's difficult not to be thrilled and exuberant after seeing a collection like this. The only difficulty being how to choose just one pair.
With thanks to Mercedes Benz.
