This is the story of how a boy growing up on an isolated Spanish island became the world’s most influential shoe designer. The film reveals how Manolo Blahnik’s love for his craft, and each and every one of the shoes he creates, drives his artistry.

More than simply a celebration of shoe design, the documentary opens a window on Manolo’s vibrant inner world, serving as a gripping character study on a man whose name is ubiquitous but who remains largely a mystery. The film features Manolo himself, with Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Iman, Rupert Everett, Sofia Coppola, André Leon Talley, Paloma Picasso, Eva Herzogiva and John Galliano amongst others.
