I will be the first to admit that I am a recovering addict when it comes to wearing couture designed with bows. I love them, rock them and always still want more. However, that is not the only reason this collection made me want to thank the shoe gods. I am also a fan of period piece films, not just for the romantic language usually exchanged between characters, but also for the exquisite and intricate fashions.
Manolo Blahnik’s shoe collection for this season seemed to have been created with ladies of the court in mind. My immediate thought was Marie Antionette would have owned every last pair and quite frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. Each shoe is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. The shoes are embellished with ruffles, baroque prints, satin, pendants, buttons as well as jewelry. The bold use of color also gives these ingenious stilettos a stronger eccentric and uniqueness.
