Quick! If you had to choose between going to Paris or owning Manolo Blahniks which would you choose?
Luckily, you don’t have to choose because Manolo Blahnik has opened a shoe exhibition in Paris at the Printemps Haussmann Women’s Store.
The exhibition, designed as a stroll through the brand’s history, will gather together the brand’s most historic models as well as Mr. Blahnik’s personal favorites on 2nd floor of Women’s Store. A dozen themes will be presented including Spain, nature, modernism, Russia and so on.
To mark this occasion, Manolo Blahnik is re-releasing, exclusively for Printemps Haussmann, one of its most iconic models: the “Ossie”, the tread is signed “Manolo Blahnik for Printemps”. First known as the Ivy, this model was designed in 1971 famed English designer Ossie Clark’s fashion show.
A melange of bright green and red, this shoe is poetry in motion; its long suede straps topped with luscious red berries and its 10-centimetre heels accentuating the silhouette. This exclusive shoe is also available in black.
