Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
「私の靴はファッションではない、ジェスチャーだ」。鮮やかな色彩の奇抜なデザイン画や、彼の創造の真髄を巧みに伝えるスケッチが並ぶ本書のなかで、ブラニクはそう述べている。彼のデザイン画に描かれているのは、靴のみか、せいぜいが足を想像させるものだけだが、にもかかわらず、本書の134点（うちカラー125点）のイラストは力強いエネルギーと色彩に満ち、いまにもページから飛び出して、ウィンクして踊りまわりそうに思えるほどだ。ブラニクの靴は、そのデザイン画と同じく、まるで靴そのものをセクシーに擬人化したかのようで、美しい曲線に見事なヒールを持ち、宝石で飾られ、きらめいている。
本書の随所にはセレブリティーの言葉がちりばめられ、めくるめく気取りと遊びの感覚をいっそう高めている。マドンナはこう言っている。「ブラニクの靴はセックスよりすてき…しかもセックスよりも長持ちするわ」。「マノロの靴をはくだけで、思わずすれ違う男の人みんなに『ごきげんいかが』って言ってしまうのよ」と言うのはジョアン・リバース。ナオミ・キャンベルは、ブラニクを靴のゴッドファーザーと呼ぶ。そのほか、パロマ・ピカソ、アイザック・ミズラヒ、ビアンカ・ジャガーも登場し、アンナ・ウィントゥアー、アンドレ・レオン・タリー、アンナ・ピアッギといったヴォーグ誌の大物や、ニューヨーカー誌のマイケル・ロバーツによる紹介文も収録されている。レイアウトはブラニクの作品を尊重した趣のあるもので、サーカスのような色彩の絵に、グレイで書かれた最低限の文章が添えられ、ブラニクの見事な走り書きも見ることができる。
1970年代から2000年代まで、10年ごとにまとめられたコレクションは、多様で興味深く、美術館の目録にも劣らぬ資料的価値がある。靴を芸術と見るファッション愛好家やデザインの熱狂的ファンにとっては、心ひかれる1冊にちがいない。

内容説明
For three decades, Manolo Blahnik's shoes have held the fashion world spellbound. His sense of the theatrical wedded to the finest materials and superlative craftsmanship inspire fanatical devotion. Diane Von Furstenberg has more than 80 pairs, Paloma Picasso has been a fan since the age of 14, and Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Piaggi and Kate Moss, to name a few, are fellow addicts. Here, collected together are over 100 drawings that Blahnik makes at the outset of the design process. These sketches are executed with such exuberance and deftness that they have become as sought-after as the shoes themselves (they often fetch up to #10,000 at charity auctions). Introductions by Anna Wintour and Michael Roberts explore why Manolo Blahnik's shoes inspire such passion, and these are complemented throughout the book by the words of admirers, including well-known celebrities. Michael Roberts also contributes a photographic essay showing Blahnik at work in his studio, making sketches, preparing the wooden lasts and supervising the production of his shoes at his factories in Italy. A final "inspirations" section includes Blahnik's own photographs of family, friends and inspirational places.
