Here's an awesome Valentine from J.Crew to us. Jenna Lyons mentioned to us a while back that she would love to do a high-end collaboration with Christian Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik, and now her wish has become reality. As we were running into the retailer's (fantastic) fall presentation this morning, Madewell designer Kin Ying Lee told us to "ask about the shoes!" So we did.

And now we can confirm that Manolo Blahnik has collaborated with J. Crew on a line of their classic BB style heels, in prints and colorways exclusive to J.Crew. No word on price yet, but go ahead and get your credit cards ready, because you'll definitely want to grab a pair.

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.
