Manolo Blahnik Spring 2016 Shoe Collection

Manolo Blahnik is beloved for bucking trends and conventions, always preferring to go his own way. Spring ’16 was no exception, with the designer only showing his collection to press late last week.


But what’s that they say about good things coming to those who wait? It certainly applies here. Blahnik toyed with fragility and strength this season, which translated into a series of pumps and sandals with a swirling teardrop motif done in finely appliquéd leather that almost appeared to be printed. The happy hues of these styles suggested that Blahnik was aiming for tears of joy or laughter rather than sorrow.
