The International Footwear Museum of Vigevano opened the new exhibition hall few days ago.
Over 500 years of history, with unique testimonie from slippers Beatrice D’Este to the glamorous creations of the same Blahnik who gave his opinion on the interpretation of femininity.
“Drawing shoes for me is not a job but the joy of my life, I love expressing myself with them. I inspire with women like Sophia Loren, Monica Vitti, Claudia Cardinale, Stefania Sandrelli, and all the beauties of the south that express the class and the passion. The influence also comes from the many usual objects that can become an art form if placed them in the right environment. If the shoe is studied in its materials, its forms and precious details can certainly be raised to art object capable of transmitting and communicating emotions”.
Manolo Blahnik
