The Famous Manolo
June 14, 2005 by Designer EllaA woman needs fabulous shoes, oh yes, whether she knows it or not. Some women embody this more than others, the heel fiend is one. She stands for her right to wear heels to and back, there and fro. She fights and walks through the pain in her toes.
Other women have the issue of not being able to afford great shoes. Some women are so unfortunate, that they would cringe at paying but $60 for a pair of quite necessary shoes.
I know, I know. But I do also know a few women such as these.
Heel lovers and flat safety-girls alike, though, should all be able to get a hold of at least one pair of Manolos. Blahniks embody everything in a quality shoe. (Just read my past entries.)
If only life were like Sex and the City; every woman would be strong in her single-hood, find a guy in the end, and retain her girl power. Every woman would have a tight-nit group of fabulous friends, which is equally important. But there is a secret behind the show’s appeal to females everywhere, each character is dressed head to toe in designer apparel, in each episode. No, it’s not just Carrie, even in Manolos!
But it was Carrie who had a devotion to the designer, more than any other shoe maker, and it was that character who had an obsession with fashion, and focused on it more than the other girls, more than marriage, sex, babies, and even the necessities in life, like rent. (Bah.) I am a Carrie.
Many women are Carries, and when the series was in the middle of running, she brought the designer Manolo Blahnik into the spotlight. Today, he is the most famous shoe designer, not just because of the media, but for obvious good reason. Quality. Precious Style. Teetering Heels. And Timelessness.
