Balenciaga<\/a>‘s newly installed creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli<\/a>, won’t try to sugarcoat it. \u201cThis collaboration came to life for very personal reasons. I simply like Manolo. That\u2019s it,” Piccioli said in a statement. Fair enough! “I know him personally and have admired him for a long time,” he continued. “To me, Manolo Blahnik<\/a> is synonymous with elegance, and as he\u2019s Spanish<\/a>, like Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga<\/a>, there\u2019s a certain shared sensibility there.”<\/p>\n

The new collab<\/a> consists of three crystal-embellished styles: slingback heels, slingback kitten heels<\/a>, and slingback mules<\/a>. The first style comes in four different colors: black, gray, yellow, and green. Meanwhile, the kitten heels come in black and purple, and the mules come in black and green. “Asymmetrical crystal leaf ornaments are hand-embroidered to drape across a low-cut vamp, echoing Blahnik\u2019s distinct flair for applying equal parts preciosity and grace, fusing jewelry with footwear,” Balenciaga explained in a press release. “These elegant gestures simultaneously recall archival 1960s Balenciaga bijoux, underscoring a consistent kinship and aesthetic symbiosis between creators.” Scroll down to shop the full collection.<\/p>\n
