Show and Tell: Manolo Blahnik

My most recent acquisition, the catalogue of Yves Saint Laurent’s archive collections. The exhibition in Paris was divine. I simply had to have this l’oeuvre intégrale, which is perfection Photograph: Manolo Blahnik This is a Bouche sketch of Dior’s New Look dress from 1948. Below it are my matador pumps which I make for myself in every colour Photograph: Manolo Blahnik This picture is from my recent trip to Athens. This place, and Ancient Greece in general, is a constant inspiration to me Photograph: Manolo Blahnik This is my desk in Madrid. In the centre there is the statue of baby Jesus. Above him is the painting of a tiger which I have had since I was a young boy Photograph: Manolo Blahnik My current favourite book. Visconti by Visconti himself, Marianne Schneider, Caterina D’Amico and Lothar Schirmer Photograph: Manolo Blahnik These are some of the awards which I’ve received through the years Photograph: Manolo Blahnik
