Manolo Blahnik x Balenciaga: Highly Anticipated Collaboration

Manolo Blahnik is collaborating with Balenciaga on a capsule footwear collection set to launch next fall.

The BALENCIAGA | MANOLO BLAHNIK collection includes a low-heeled mule and slingback sandals in two different heel heights. The designs are based on archival sketches by Manolo Blahnik, selected by Pierpaolo Piccioli.

The three models are made from silk satin in various colors, with Balenciaga's signature gray lining. The collaboration honors the Spanish roots of both houses and their shared dedication to haute couture and handcrafted craftsmanship.

Each model features crystal embroidery, a reference to Blahnik's love for decorative elements and jewelry-like shoes, alluding to designs from Blahnik's archive and 1960s jewelry by Cristóbal Balenciaga.
