The last word on Manolo Blahnik, creator of fashion's sexiest shoes.

For many years Manolo Blahnik was the open secret of the fashion world, his shoes de rigueur for any stylish woman. Then, with 'Absolutely Fabulous' and 'Sex And The City', he became world-famous to millions. In this fully authorised book, Colin McDowell uncovers the man behind the label.

Blahnik claims that his decision to be a shoemaker was "one of those accidents of life. I could just as well have been a milliner or a fashion designer". His choices were wide but he chose shoemaking and started his highly successful business in 1972.

From the beginning Blahnik's shoes reflected his style, wit and flair. He draws shoes with a verve that is uniquely his own, capturing their spirit and mood in a few deft lines. As a total perfectionist, Manolo Blahnik controls every process in the production of his shoes and still makes the last of every shoe in a collection with his own hands.

He has made shoes for everyone from Bianca Jagger, Jerry Hall and Diana Ross to Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham. His designs have been described by Madonna as "wonderful - they last longer than sex". He also creates shoes for many designers including John Galliano at Christian Dior and Oscar de la Renta. It is therefore of no surprise that the word "Manolos" has become synonymous with the finest footwear in the world.

Through his informative text Colin McDowell takes us into Blahnik's factory and homes to show us his life and his work, and combined with a stunning selection of photographs reveals this ultimate fashion icon as never seen before.
