A great friend gave me for my Birthday recently, Camilla Morton’s Manolo Blahnik and the Tale of The Elves and The Shoemaker a charming fashion fairy tale memoir of high heels and happy endings complete with Blahnik’s delightful illustrations of fantastically frivolous shoes. The tale of The Elves and the Shoemaker originally by the Grimm brothers is reimagined within the context of Blahnik’s rise to fame as one of the world’s most celebrated footwear designers. An enchanting read, thank you C!
