Manolo Blahnik & Rihanna Collaborate On Shoe Collection.

 After debuting a collection for Puma at New York Fashion Week last month, Rihanna now has a very different footwear collaboration in the works โ€” with none other than Manolo Blahnik.

The denim-driven collection, Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik, will debut May 5. It features sequins and embroidery influenced by Rihannaโ€™s hand tattoos. They appear on designs including thigh-high boots and an open-toe sandal. The limited-edition capsule collection includes six styles, a selection of sandals, pumps and boots. Prices range from 541.67 pounds, or $767, to 2,458.33 pounds, or $3,483.50.


The collection will be sold at Manolo Blahnikโ€™s stores in London, New York and Hong Kong.

โ€œThe day I see a woman in the street wearing my shoesโ€ฆI am sorry for that woman because Iโ€™m going to literally run after her, shouting, โ€˜Stop! Selfie! Who are you? Where did you get them?โ€™ Iโ€™m going to have a moment!โ€ said Rihanna.

We already knew that Rihanna and Manolo were quite taken with each other. On the evening of her Puma show, she told FN: โ€œI enjoy everything about Manolo. He is such an incredible human being. Heโ€™s so fun to work with and I was blessed with the opportunity to see him create from scratch. Heโ€™s so passionate about what he does and it makes it so worth it when you buy or wear a pair of his shoes because you know what went into it. Heโ€™s not copy and paste. Heโ€™s not letting anyone do his work. He has a small team as well. He still loves everything about shoes, and itโ€™s so refreshing.โ€

Last year, in our most recent profile of the designer, Blahnik said of Rihanna: โ€œ[She is] the only person I love with a tattoo. I was sitting at a table with her [at the British Fashion Awards] and was so impressed. She looks like Grace Kelly. Sheโ€™s just so beautiful, so polite.โ€

Separately, Rihanna will appear on the cover of British Vogueโ€™s April issue, which hits newsstands next Thursday. The cover was photographed by Craig Dean and styled by Kate Phelan.
