Manolo’s Maps by Manolo Blahnik features insider tips from the designer and his recommendations for the best things to do in London, Paris and beyond
Manolo Blahnik has launched Manolo’s Maps, a guide to four of the acclaimed fashion designer’s favourite cities that he calls home – London, New York, Paris and Milan. The maps are designed to allow fashion enthusiasts to follow in the designer’s footsteps and visit his personal favourite places to stay, dine, shop and explore in each city.
Manolo Blahnik’s London map spans various exciting locations across the city, including Old Church Street, where he opened his first boutique in 1970. The Victoria & Albert Museum is mentioned as a particular source of inspiration for the designer, alongside the Chelsea Physic Garden. Meanwhile, the designer gives a special shoutout to Wilton’s, which is his favourite spot to eat in London. These four locations, as well as 11 others – which include rare bookshops, luxury hotels and cinemas – are the type of destinations you can expect to find in his travel edit for London.

As for what makes London such a beloved destination to the designer, he points to the city’s expressive nature: “In London I feel free; nobody bothers anyone and everyone is free to express themselves.”
To complement the map, Manolo Blahnik has also released a streetstyle edit, which curates the brand’s most versatile and comfortable styles – perfect for exploring the designer’s favourite worldly destinations.
The streetstyle edit contains new and existing Manolo Blahnik styles for both men and women, suitable to wear while traversing the streets of these famous cities. For this edit, women can expect to see boots, flats, and kitten heels, while for men, there are sneakers, sandals, lace-ups and loafers in classic and well-loved designs.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the collection, Manolo Blahnik highlighted the balance between extravagance and comfort.
“Shoes should be extravagant but comfortable. I want women to be able to walk around in them all day. I have never had a woman tell me that she can’t walk in my shoes,” he said.
A limited-edition copy of Manolo’s Maps can be picked up at one of Manolo Blahnik’s boutiques in London as well as select map locations across the city.
