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:
Nearly cracked the glass here… guess that’s why they only display one…
Inspired by nature:
Manolo Blahnik designed the shoes for Sophia Coppola’s movie Marie Antoinette:
Timeless sandals…
The Art of Shoes runs until January 6th, 2019 at the Bata Shoe Museum in downtown Toronto.
