Manolo Blahnik
Manolo Blahink sits atop the luxe heap of timelessness and sophistication. The company's
US business, representing 75% of sale, could take a hit if high-end shoppers decide to stay home watching old movies - a pastime
of the designer. To keep customers interested, though, Blahnik,65 has worked hard to keep the buzz buzzing. Of course that
got easier when one of Blahnik's classic silhouettes - a blue stain bejeweled pump - appeared in the highly anticipated
"Sex and the City" movie last summer. This simple pump gave sales the biggest bump and reignited Manolo Mania.
