In one of those miraculous moments, the fashion gods offered up the perfect shoe this month, a collaboration between master shoe designer Manolo Blahnik and Birkenstock.
Manolo is known for his wildly gorgeous shoes, usually spindly delicate treasures, in rich satins and grosgrains, delicately bejewelled. Perfectly designed for walking from the car into the restaurant, objects of sheer beauty, practicality be damned.
