SHOE-TASTIC! 7 Jan 2006
By "immyp"
Format:Hardcover
I got this book for Christmas and it's one of the best presents ever! Being a huge shoeholic and owning almost 70 pairs, alas I'm not fortunate enough to own a pair of Manolos. Yet. But this book almost makes up for it as it is filled to the brim with stunning photographs of a huge variety of Manolo's Magnificent Creations. It's every girl's dream and a lovely way to while away the time flicking through the beautiful pages time and time again. A must for every shoe lover's coffee table.

Blahnik by Boman 18 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
I just happened to be in Selfridges/London last year, coinciding with Eric Boman and Manolo Blahnik's book launch. There were queues and queues of eager fans lining up to get their newly purchased books autographed by the fashionable duo. It was all very civilised, even though security guards were holding back the frenzied mob, while Boman and Blahnik relentlessly signed with tireless good humour and charm.

Manolo Blahnik has been the ultimate cobbler to the stars since the Seventies, and Eric is a veteran, top photographer who's been photographing beautiful women for years (his most recent book, "Dames" show-cases his portrait-photogaphy). It's fortunate for Manolo that Eric came up with the novel idea of photographing his shoes. It was also conducive for the book that he supplied the witty 'photographic conversation,' for although Manolo's shoes are the most exquisite in the world, a book would have been pretty one dimensional with pedestrian sole snap-shots of his pumps without Eric's creative input.

Boman has not only managed to produce imaginative photographs of the beautiful shoes, but has elevated Manolo's footwear to museum status. Thanks to his original and highly imaginative photographic compositions, the elegant pumps have been transformed into classical portraits.

Boman and Blahnik's old friend Paloma Picasso has supplied the foreward, helping make this beautifully produced book a must have gift, especially for people with tasteful shoe fetishes and aficionados of superior glossy art books, the kind which are much too exquisite to grace coffee tables.
