Autumn ’23 is a tribute to the unparalleled creativity and exquisite craftmanship of Manolo Blahnik. This season reflects on an amalgamation of imaginative inspirations: from the classic glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood, to the modernity of urban cityscapes, to the elaborate natural motifs of Baroque aesthetics.

LA PARISIENNE

This season, Manolo pays tribute to an icon of visual culture and his dear friend and collaborator, André Leon Talley. A fashion trailblazer whose style emanated vivacious fun and refined glamour, is translated this season through striking shearling details and bold flocked prints. Mesh polka dot, lavish shearling detail and giraffe print fabrics, create a contemporary take on classic silhouettes in a salute to his vibrant, larger than life approach.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR

For Autumn ’23 Manolo is inspired by Marlene Dietrich. Striking the perfect balance between androgyny and glamour, the femme-fatale charm of the German-American actress is translated to styles in high contrast windowpane prints such as the Latexa, couture-inspired gathering details and elegant embellished details. Sparkling satin pumps, baguette jewel embellishments and tri-colour styles emulate the colourful persona of the society icon.

URBAN CITYSCAPES

Manolo’s designs have long been shaped by an architectural sense of proportion. Inspired by the urban environment, this season he looked to sleek cityscapes to create styles with a balance of form and function. A palette of neutrals, with backstitch detailing, create simple yet striking silhouettes that celebrate modernity and shape. The backstitch detailing features on the Homerasli, Merasa and Homeraso.

BAROQUE STYLING

Ever inspired by art and artisanry styles, this season Manolo was influenced by romantic and theatrical elements of 17th Century Baroque aesthetics. Motifs with ornate detailing and the lavish metalwork of the Gilded era provided inspiration for the Autumn ’23 collection. Elegant slingback pumps and flat mules featuring intricate floral metallic embroidery; the Kasai and the Zaborus feature laser cut designs in Baroque scrolls to embody the refined luxury of the 17th century.
