Manolo Blahnik

Manolo Blahnik shoes have become a byword for ultra-glam, cosmopolitan footwear. Slender heels, huge crystal-encrusted embellishments and seductive silhouettes are the hallmarks of shoes created by the Spanish shoe designer, creative director of the eponymous company he set up in 1970.

With a lengthy list of cult styles, it's not hard to see why Manolo Blahnik is hailed as an icon. In our selection, his signature Hangisi heels and lavishly-embellished satin flats are the starting points for an alluring line-up. There's no doubt about the quality of the materials, and their luxury is impossible to miss. Metallic weaves, buckled leather, seductive suede and see-through mesh are among the elements making these styles unique.

Manolo Blahnik's satin court shoe designs are among the most decadent examples of the label's design. High stiletto heels set off the sheen of the fabric. Their sleek and flattering shape is topped by the extravagant drama of a large crystal-studded brooch curved that catches the light, making every step will dazzle. Coveted by millions around the world, Manolo shoes will announce their provenance the moment you set foot in a room – or onto a red carpet.
