Manolo Blahnik Mules
Born to a Czech father and a Spanish mother and born and
raised in the Canary Islands (Spain), Blahnik graduated from the University of Geneva in 1965 and studied art
in Paris.
He moved to London
in 1968 to work at fashion boutique "Zapata" and write for Vogue Italia.
After showing his portfolio of fashions and set designs to Diana
Vreeland, she told him that he should design only footwear. In 1972,
Ossie Clark
invited him to create shoes for his runway show. With a loan of £2,000, Blahnik
bought Zapata from its owner and opened his own boutique. In the 1970s, when chunky platform shoes and
boots were the mainstream footwear styling of the day, Manolo Blahnik turned
back his attention to the stiletto heel, which has remained the brand's
mainstay to this day. Manolo Blahnik shoes have rapidly become a symbol of pure
classical style for the 21st century.
