"I HATE MY COLLECTION": Saint Martins unveiled

Manolo Blahnik interview

It’s been a while since the last update, we were busy making a trailer, teaser rather  and it’s almost done, in fact hopefully in a week it will completely finished.

Today we went to see  Manolo Blahnik, unconventional, eccentric and very theatrical, rolling his eyes like a silver screen diva he talked to us about Russian Munks( who according to him are  ” the most elegant people in Europe”), his mentor Diana Vreeland and her obsession with rouge, past and present of British fashion and of course Saint Martins. You will see bits of it in the teaser and for now I will upload few pictures.

Tea with Manolo …

It’s all terribly exciting, Manolo Blahnik invited me for tea to talk about Central Saint Martins. He never studied at Saint Martins,but of course he will have lots of stories to tell about people who did.

After Diana Vreeland suggested that he start making shoes, probably in her usual fashion ” Manolo why don’t you start making the most divine shoes in most extraordinary colours that even Elizabeth of Austria and Marie Antoinette would have loved to wear”  Or maybe she has referenced someone more contemporary, I guess Manolo will know the answer. Anyway he did come to London and he became the worlds most successful shoe maker.

He also worked with the designer of the 60s Ossie Clark who used to teach at Saint Martins.

We haven’t scheduled the date yet but it will be after London Fashion Week.
