Those Shoes!!!
Too many NYCFashion week designers were using Manolo Blahnik's shoes for
their shows. The hard truth is as much as designers and stylists liked
them, the models wished better! It is an incredible art to walk
gracefully on the runway, and these girls have mastered it!
Thankfully it only takes them less
than a minute to walk the runway up and down. So when you see the models on those
shoes and that graceful walk, you wish you wore them....but what you don't know is that most of them waited for the last possible second to put them on. And, as soon as
they came off the runway that is the first thing they wanted to remove.
This year Manolo's shoes were present in about 80 percent of the shows I
was on. And the thing they had in common was the pointy tip, and the
hardness of the materials used, with a prevalence of transparent
plastic, which looks gorgeous to me, but is a feet killer. So when I
found out they were giving Manolo Blahnik a Royal Designers Award @ Palacio Real el Pardo in Madrid today, I wondered...and then I thought again...well
deserved Manolo, you are an Artist! I don't think I could wear your
shoes though, but see an exhibition of your work @ Museo Nacional del Prado, I would
love!
They look beautiful in a drawing!!!
