Manolo Blahnik : not your grandma's shoe

We all know the story of the coveted Manolos. Every girl has to wear them at a dressy event, a gala, a wedding. What about just for fun? The go to shoes for fun are usually Alexander McQueen and CL but now we may have to reconsider those biases. I took a peak at the sketches for SS 2010 shoes, and might I say they were breathtaking. The construction : flawless, the execution? Even better. I just hope these sketches translate into real life..(aka Christian Siriano for payless that were oh so magnifica that were a complete FAIL, well not really but they just weren't what we expected)

Instead of adding in a gem here, something swarvorskied there, Blahnik actually did some real damn architecture to these shoes! I like the fact that they are straying away from their predictable hoo-rah and offering us something that we will love!
