A J Crew and Manolo Blahnik collaboration??
Not according to the Master Shoemaker!
While New York Fashion Week was buzzing about the definite partnership between the luxury shoe brand and the more “affordable” J. Crew brand, Blahnik remained unaware that he had ever agreed to such a thing.
Blahnik said to Vogue UK this week:
“I don’t want to work for a big company where I’ll have to have lots of meetings where I’m told what I can and can’t do. My niece, Kristina, handles that sort of thing for me – it’s just not for me. I was recently contacted by J Crew to do something with them, so I sent them over 45 pairs of shoes, and they announced we were doing a collaboration. I had no idea about it!”
Naughty J. Crew! Don’t count your shoes before they … have been officially granted to you!
