Manolo Blahnik And The Tale Of The Elves & The Shoemaker

received as a christmas present last year, my copy of manolo blahnik and the tale of the elves and the shoemaker has made a permanent home in my bookshelves and, indeed, my heart. the book by camilla morton follows the early life and career of blahnik, merging it wonderfully with the favorite childhood tale of shoemaking magic. with its stunning illustrations (done by blahnik himself) and quirky storytelling, this book is a true treat for the lover of shoes, art, literature and some plain ol’ eye candy. it’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving.
