Manolo Blahnik Spring/Summer 2016 collection

National costumes from Spanish cities such as Salamanca and Segovia have long fascinated Manolo and this collection’s prominent detail which features on many shoes, has come to life from a photograph of a man in traditional dress from Salamanca. The details around the buttons of his jacket turned into the squiggly detail on these styles. Mr Blahnik has seen photographs by Ortiz-Echague since his childhood and a few years ago he found at an antique market a book with a collection of his photographs and felt a wave of inspiration after looking through it.
