Manolo for Liberty is Super Cute - Fashionista

Manolo for Liberty is Super Cute

The print masters at Liberty of London have enlisted the talents of stiletto master Manolo Blahnik to design a collection, set to debut this Fall. Always a brand favorite across the pond, Americans went mad for Liberty, too, after its wildly successful partnership with Target. Grazia snagged a preview of the line--the marriage of Liberty prints with Blahnik's elegant silhouettes works beautifully. And for you ladies, like myself, who are less stiletto-inclined, there's an adorable pair of flats, too.

The print masters at Liberty of London have enlisted the talents of stiletto master Manolo Blahnik to design a collection, set to debut this Fall.

Always a brand favorite across the pond, Americans went mad for Liberty, too, after its wildly successful partnership with Target.

Grazia snagged a preview of the line--the marriage of Liberty prints with Blahnik's elegant silhouettes works beautifully. And for you ladies, like myself, who are less stiletto-inclined, there's an adorable pair of flats, too.

The collaboration should be a boon for the Brit brand, which climbed out of financial troubles to turn a profit last year, according to its most recent annual report.

Blahnik is the latest designer to partner with the collab-happy brand, who have paired up with Nike, APC and Hermes in the past.

That Manolo Blahnik for J. Crew Collaboration Is Not Happening After All

Well this is a disappointment. Turns out that Manolo Blahnik for J. Crew collaboration, which the shoe designer reportedly had no idea about, is not happening after all. Despite the fact that Jenna Lyons told The Daily, "We are in a good place with [Manolo Blahnik] now. Everything’s OK," both parties have decided not to move forward with the project "due to wholesale production restraints on [Manolo Blahnik's] end," a spokesperson for the shoe company told us. In other words, you better take a good look at those pretty stilettos in the above image because you may never get to see them in the flesh. Or at least not anytime soon.
