1. Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards
Regarded as one of the greatest shoe designers and makers of the 20th and 21st Century, this documentary follows the career of Manolo Blahnik, beginning from his childhood memories of making shoes of muslin and ribbons for lizards, to being praised by fashion's elite. The film features his regular clients and friends, including the influential Rihanna and Naomi Campbell.
As Kristina Blahnik, his niece and CEO of Manolo Blahnik International, puts it: ‘“You get insight into his mind and his private world. It isn’t about shoes; it’s about a feeling, a spirit.” This film is visionary of Manolo’s ethereal and luxury handcrafts that grace many feets today.
