This season we follow Manolo’s boundless imagination through an eclectic set of inspirations from bygone eras and enduring icons to global cultures and fellow designers. The Spring 2021 collection sees new angular detailing, waves of vibrant colour and highlights the extraordinary craftsmanship for which the house has been known.
A steadfast admirer of historical fashion and figures, Manolo looked this season to the 18th century when the chicest women adorned their shoes with interchangeable buckles and bows like jewellery. Manolo imagined them glittering in the candlelight of a ballroom when he created square buckles with angular crystals seen on Verda and Centina.
Continuing in the spirit of revelry, Manolo found inspiration in the Bright Young Things – a group of aristocrats, socialites, writers and artists in 1920’s London who embodied the era’s hedonism. Manolo captured the extravagance of their elaborate costumes and secret parties in enchanting crystal and pearl embellishments and dramatic scalloped vamps on the Lentafa and Valenta mules.
