{"product_id":"9781849499712","title":"Vogue on Manolo Blahnik","description":"\u003cp\u003eFashion's leading shoemaker, Manolo Blahnik is one of the handful of designers whose name is synonymous with their product. His success has lasted from setting up as a shoe designer in a Chelsea boutique in the 1970s to the present day, with American \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e's Anna Wintour declaring 'The truth is, I wear no other shoes except his'. Blahnik has collaborated with many leading fashion designers – from Ossie Clark at the start of his career and John Galliano at Dior at its height – but Blahnik's greatest achievement is to have made footwear, previously subservient to the overall concept of a look, the most important of all accessories. His many covers and features in the pages of Vogue reveal that wearing a pair of 'Manolos' is to be utterly transformed; in Blahnik's dreamy, handmade creations, a woman can reinvent her personality. She is a Lolita in his Mary-Janes and a red carpet diva in his satin mules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardie Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096680042736,"sku":"9781849499712","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849499712","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
