IMO Manolos are very "delicate".. I havent really seen any that arent but if anyone wants to prove me wrong then go ahead :) Love to see pictures of shoes.. Louboutin seems to use more platforms in their heels compared to manolo but Im definatly no expert
 
Ciao Bella, I love those shoes too, they're so beautiful.
And I remember they were once featured on manoloblahnik.com but I didn't remember their name. They were baby blue with rhinestones.

And they were once on eBay. Sadly, I can't find them anymore.
These were black with rhinestones. Just beautiful!!!

Dark wine, with gold embelisment and criss-cross straps.

I suppose they were designed for Reem Acra Spring 2009 collection.

Thank you pasha and Mk's Beauty Shop for your responses. I've just had a a hard time looking and being able to think right away, "That's a Manolo!" like I can with Christian Louboutins, where I recognize the aforementioned red soles, platforms, and general aesthetic easily.

Off to explore this thread now . . .

I think I read somewhere that Manolo dislikes platforms, so I don't think we will see any of those from his hand.

Well to be honest I cant really tell straight away either its mostly because I recognise styles from shows or on here :)
 
OMG...mateica...I can actually see the full design of the shoe..that is a fabulous spread of photos!! DIVINE! GG actually provided me the name..'Bebek'..so the search begins. Do you remember what the ones on eBay sold for by chance??
 
Ciao Bella, sorry but I don't remember, I don't even remember when I saw them last.
I've seen from the picture that the eBay store that was selling them is: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/NATURALGASGIRL. Maybe they'll be selling them again.

BTW Thanks for their name. I'll sure remember it!

I've read that too. I don't think Manolo's heels are consistently 'delicate'; my Ringos have a thicker and sturdier heel than any Louboutins I've ever seen.

I actually prefer Manolos to be less easy to recognize unless you are a Manolo collector yourself. There's something more tasteful about that than flashing red soles so the whole world will know you dropped ridic cash for your kicks. How much I spend on my shoes should only be my business. :innocent:

loved them!
will post pics soon :woot:
 
^^ so jealous!! I am dying to go to 10corsocomo to see the sales..
