The book is organized thematically to express Blahnik's interests and passions - art history, architecture, film, including his renowned designs for Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette, theatre and flora and fauna.
An introduction by Blahnik himself is accompanied by contributions from some of the best-known names in fashion: Suzy Menkes, Fashion Editor of the International Herald Tribune; Grace Coddington, Creative Director at American Vogue; Carlos Garcia Calvo, Fashion Editor of El Mundo; Milena Canonero, who won her third Oscar for her costume design for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, and Amy Fine Collins, Special Correspondent to Vanity Fair. Each provides a valuable insight into the world of Manolo Blahnik.
As Andre Leon Talley, the Editor at Large at American Vogue, has said of Manolo Blahnik, 'He captures the most powerful of emotions: desire.'
