Manolo Blahnik Exhibit: The Art of Shoes at the Bata Shoe Museum

One of my fave Carrie moments on Sex and the City is her delight when she finds what she thought was an “urban shoe legend” -the Manolo Mary Janes- in the fashion cupboard at Vogue. Carrie’s love of Manolos and the spectacular styling on that show made me fall in love with the artistry that is a Manolo Blahnik shoe. The Art of Shoes at the Bata Shoe Museum is a shoe-lover’s dream; an ethereal exhibit of Manolos that will have you wanting to commit museum theft. Here are some shots of my faves:
