A cinematic revival of 18th-century opulence, timed with the V&A’s Marie Antoinette Style exhibition.
In a rare gesture of cinematic nostalgia, Manolo Blahnik reimagines the shoes he created for Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film Marie Antoinette into a capsule collection launching September 16. The collection, steeped in 18th-century French opulence, reflects the lavish world of Versailles through sumptuous fabrics, intricate detailing, and a palette echoing the extravagance of the queen’s court.
Timed to coincide with the V&A’s Marie Antoinette Style exhibition, the capsule bridges fashion, history, and film, translating the visual poetry of Coppola’s cult classic into pieces meant to be lived in. Each design underscores Blahnik’s enduring fascination with artistry, ornament, and the theatrical flourish of footwear as narrative.
Available exclusively on ManoloBlahnik.com, the collection will also be stocked in the US at Manolo Blahnik Madison Avenue and the Miami Design District boutiques. For admirers of both cinema and couture craftsmanship, it’s a capsule that offers more than shoes — it’s an invitation into a world of storied indulgence, reimagined with Blahnik’s unmistakable touch.
