Manolo Blahnik and the Tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker

About the Fashion Fairy Tale Memoir Series Each book in this inspired series by fashion writer Camilla Morton inventively reimagines one of our favorite “Once Upon a Time” stories, blending it with the real-life story of a famed fashion er. Lushly illustrated by the ers themselves, these tales illuminate each iconic individual‘s creative magic while celebrating his unique life and career. The result is an intriguing combination of whimsy and memoir. In this contemporary twist on the tale of the Elves and the Shoemaker, Manolo Blahník‘s delightful drawings evoke the past, envision the future, and, of course, evidence the indelible footprint he‘s made on fashion history. His illustrations take us from the banana plantations of his childhood to his current reign at the top of high-fashion footwear , while playfully hinting at all the adventures he‘s had and friends he‘s met along the way. von Morton, Camilla;
