Meeting Manolo Blahnik was another unforgettable moment for me. He is one the most influential shoe designers in the world, and been in the industry for almost 35 years now. He really is and institution in himself, a master craftsman.
By the time I reached the fashion avenue of Dubai mall, where the Manolo Blahnik store is located was buzzing with hundreds of women, waiting in the queue to get their Manolos autographed by the man himself. There was a lot of excitement in the air.
I got precisely 5 minutes to interview him, thanks to Samara Punjabi, the franchise owner of the brand in the middle east. but well!! 5 minutes with Mr. Manolo...not bad at all.
The interview started with him complimenting my ripped tights and looks wow!! I was ecstatic.
Afterall if it wasn''t for Sex and the city, and more specifically Carrie Bradshaw, we wouldn''t know our Manolo Blahniks.
The event truly rocked , I left the venue after the interview to head to Abu Dhabi to cover the F1 red carpet, the the queue kept getting longer....
