The touring retrospective exhibition The Art of Shoes celebrates the imaginative genius of footwear maestro Manolo Blahnik. Kim Reyes reports.
THE NAME MANOLO BLAHNIK HAS been synonymous with the shoes of our dreams—unmistakably sexy, oftentimes whimsical, and simply irresistible. When it comes to crafting fetish-worthy footwear, Blahnik is a true artist. So it’s only fitting that the current exhibition celebrating the legend’s creations is titled The Art of Shoes.
The touring retrospective features 212 designs and 80 original sketches, handpicked by Blahnik with exhibition curator Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz. The selection represents a mere sliver of the designer’s archive of over 30,000 designs, spanning a 45-year career.
