Apart from the brand\u2019s onscreen legacy as Carrie Bradshaw\u2019s shoe of choice on <em>Sex and the City, <\/em>the London-based label has also remained a must in every well-dressed woman\u2019s closet\u2014in real life\u2014for years. Now, on its 50th anniversary, the label is releasing an exclusive new collection to celebrate its most notable designs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aptly named the Golden Year collection, the lineup is a well-curated summation of the last five decades of Manolo Blahnik. From the iconic Hangisi pumps to the strappy Mary Jane heels (both made popular by Sarah Jessica Parker\u2019s always-stylish character during the show\u2019s six-season run), every design on offer is recreated in gold to align with the collection\u2019s overarching theme.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it first opened its doors in 1971, customers have flocked to the label for its craftsmanship and unexpected level of comfort. Manolo Blahnik has also been well-celebrated for the last half century\u2014from books published in honor of the shoe brand, to the reception of some of the industry\u2019s most sough-after awards, including those from the Couture Council of America and the independent luxury body Walpole, which named the designer a \u201cLuxury Legend.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:768\/768\"><img width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/klj-manoloblahnik-gold50-09-09-21-shot-14-032-1637261122.jpeg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Katrina Lawson Johnston\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/klj-manoloblahnik-gold50-09-09-21-shot-14-032-1637261122.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/klj-manoloblahnik-gold50-09-09-21-shot-14-032-1637261122-300x300.jpeg 300w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"caption mt-2 flex justify-between gap-4\">\n\t\t\t<span>Katrina Lawson Johnston<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further commemorating the major milestone, the brand hosted a posh high tea at the newly opened Carlyle hotel restaurant.
