The legacy of Manolo Blahnik is incredible, how do you continue to retain this?
By staying true to our original values, to family, to creativity and to craftsmanship. At our core is soul and sincerity.
What are the defining moments of the last 50 years for Manolo Blahnik?
There have been so many! The first was designing shoes for the Ossie Clark runway show in 1971, our Liberty partnership which began in 2009, our Rihanna collaborations, The Art of Shoes touring exhibition, the film; Manolo Blahnik The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards, and An Enquiring Mind at the Wallace Collection. I think that was 6!
Can you talk us through what a classic Manolo Blahnik shoe embodies?
A classic pair of Manolos is a timeless investment.
