At first glance, the new collaboration between Manolo Blahnik and jewelry brand Tous might seem like it’s all about the ladies, with sweet charm necklaces featuring the iconic Campari heel, but Blahnik got a memento, too. Designer Rosa Oriol Tous created a single pair of custom-made cuff links for the designer, and he lent them to his right-hand man, U.S. brand president George Malkemus, for last week’s breakfast fêting the launch. Also in attendance was Blahnik’s niece and deputy managing director, Kristina Blahnik. But the designer collab isn’t the only partnership that has put Tous in the spotlight recently. Jennifer Lopez — fresh off her campaign for Louis Vuitton — has been tapped as the new face of the label and will promote the Manolo Blahnik charm in an upcoming ad. “Right now, ‘American Idol’ is the top show in America, and her song is topping the charts,” said Malkemus. “But Madame Tous signed her before [these last] big moments.” Tous was equally awe-struck. “She was incredibly sweet, not a diva,” she said of her meeting with the pop star, which — like the launch breakfast — took place at New York’s Four Seasons restaurant. “We sat at that table there when she agreed,” Tous said, pointing across the room. “We spoke in Spanish and talked about raising children while working. Her husband, Marc Anthony, had a concert that night, and she invited us to come. We sat in the second row.”

(she perfectly suits the collection, imo)...do you remember her old whole campaign?!!!
...it was chic and fierce!!!
I wish!!
