Manolo Blahnik designed the Summer 2022 collection from the idyllic surroundings of his beloved Canary Islands.

The Summer 2022 Collection Has Arrived

Manolo Blahnik designed the Summer 2022 collection from the idyllic surroundings of his beloved Canary Islands. Beneath vivid summer sunlight with balmy ocean breezes, he reflected on the past five decades of exuberant style and drew inspiration from a typically eclectic set of references – London in the 60s and 70s, elegant historical figures, talented artists, revolutionary designers and charming destinations.

Manolo Blahnik designed the Summer 2022 collection from the idyllic surroundings of his beloved Canary Islands.

Looking to the London of his formative years in the 60s and 70s, Manolo reimagined iconic floral prints with daisies in pretty pastels and acid brights with a retro curved heel on the SURRIENTASLI slingback and MAYSALEBI mule.

Manolo finds reoccurring inspiration in the iconic styles of women over every epoch. This season he channeled the timeless femininity of Audrey Hepburn with vivid colours and delicate hand-made bows. He looked also to Rita de Acosta, an elegant socialite regarded “the most picturesque woman in America,” who inspired a series in graceful lace with lustrous pearls.

Manolo’s limitless love for the beauty of Sicily shines this season though a new print of delicate seashells in saturated hues with organic curves, scattered over the KUNGHI pump and RUBY flat.

The emotive works of British sculptor Barbara Hepworth inspired a dynamic teardrop line in contrasting soft colours. Manolo continued this use of undulating lines for a dramatic carved-out silhouette in a neutral palette, evoking the stark minimalism of iconoclastic American architect Louis I. Kahn.

Manolo’s latest collection draws from references far and wide for a cohesive edit of showstopping creations. As always, pristine craftsmanship and delightful detailing are at the forefront of each style. Positivity is imbued in his signature use of pop colours, flattering feminine silhouettes and sense of timelessness.

Manolo Blahnik for ELVIS

Manolo Blahnik has partnered with Academy Award-winning costume designer Catherine Martin to create a selection of custom shoes for Baz Luhrmann’s larger-than-life film, Elvis, from Warner Bros. Pictures.

Inspired by existing Manolo Blahnik silhouettes, the shoes can be seen throughout the film on Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) and also on Jerry Schilling (played by Luke Bracey), who portrays the artist’s longtime associate. Manolo Blahnik and Martin have partnered together in the past, creating shoes for Luhrmann’s 2001 Oscar-winning film Moulin Rouge!.

“It has been an honor to work with the wonderful Catherine Martin once again,” said Blahnik. “She is a visionary of the costume world and so beautifully brings motion picture to life through her divine creative imagination and originality. I am constantly inspired by cultural movements and music and with Elvis as the muse, these styles were a joy to create! The `50s in general is an era that I am so often drawn to, particularly in my menswear designs, with some of my past and more recent collections inspiring the pieces for the film. I am incredibly grateful to Catherine for including my work in this already iconic film. It has been marvelous, a true privilege.”

Manolo Blahnik designs featured in the film are TUPELO, a black-and-white lace-up inspired by ‘50s menswear, VICTOR, a sleek white calf leather boot, and GRACELAND, a classic toggle desert boot in cappuccino-coloured suede.

“Manolo Blahnik’s brilliance and extraordinary craft is something I have admired for many years,” said Martin. “To work with him and create something unique yet historically truthful was an incredible privilege. To have at one’s disposal such extraordinary Italian ateliers was a luxury, resulting in beautiful, gorgeously crafted shoes. Coincidentally, Manolo Blahnik’s signature spectator lace ups are strikingly similar to the shoes Elvis habitually wore in the mid`50s. The iconic designer’s love of this style serendipitously reflected Elvis’s aesthetic in the 1950s.”

Dynamiq goes behind the scenes of the 50-metre GTT 160’s timeless design

Dynamiq presents the video encapsulation of what the revolutionary GTT 160 model is all about.

The short film includes statements from Dynamiq, the expert naval architects at Van Ossannen and the cult design guru Claudio Pironi, the mastermind behind GTT 160’s exquisite interiors.

The avant-garde, all-aluminium 49.5-metre vessel represents what Dynamiq thinks is essential for modern superyachts – cool looking, efficient, and focused on a healthy lifestyle. The GTT 160 is aimed at today’s active owners who can’t imagine their holidays without gourmet cuisine, sport, and well-being.

It’s a yacht for owners who like to spend most of their time on deck, in the open air and close to the water, as well as those who want to experience different destinations or cross the Atlantic quickly to enjoy endless summers in the Med and Caribbean on a more manageable and economical size of yacht.

The GTT 160 is complete with bespoke, minimalist interiors by Claudio Pironi, which maximize space and allow you to feel luxury regardless of where you choose to sail.

About DYNAMIQ

Dynamiq was founded in Monaco in 2014 by experienced yacht broker and designer Sergei Dobroserdov, who assembled a ‘dream team’ of world thinkers, engineers and naval architects to turn the next-generation superyacht concept into reality. “I simply believe we can propose something better that offers owners more choice: versatile yachts perfect for any occasion, whether it’s relaxing family cruising, vibrant deck parties and exploring the remotest destinations. Fast but with ocean-going range, easy to order and customise with top world brands,” says founder and CEO Sergei Dobroserdov. Dynamiq is the first company in the superyacht industry to introduce an online configurator, allowing the yacht to be easily and transparently customised down to the last detail. Dynamiq unveiled its first launch, 39m Jetsetter, at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show to wide acclaim. The following project, the GTT 115, was developed in conjunction with the renowned design firm Studio F.A. Porsche and successfully unveiled at the 2017 MYS. The GTT 135 Stefania (41m), will be delivered in autumn 2021.

Dynamiq has established the most advanced approach in the industry; the yacht can be completely configured online with all necessary extras and options.

Prices and delivery dates are available online at www.bedynamiq.com.

THE PERFECT GIFT: PERSONALISE YOUR ECOBOX WITH BETHAN LAURA WOOD

Maison Perrier-Jouët continues its collaboration with designer Bethan Laura Wood, who was given a wild card to revisit the Ecobox, its recently launched eco-designed giftbox. Originally designed in pure matte white to evoke the chalky subsoil of the Champagne region, is now back in a colourful and vibrant version to make that gifting moment even more special.

Unleash your creativity by discovering how to personalise your sustainable gift from the comfort of your home.

I defined a color palette specifically for Perrier-Jouët, based on the bright colors of HyperNature and those used more than a century ago by Emile Gallé in his creations. I wanted to return these colours to the flowers he designed in 1902 for Perrier-Jouët.

BETHAN LAURA WOOD

An expression of the creative freedom of Perrier-Jouët and the British artist, this limited edition Ecobox reconciles quality and environmental commitment, remaining true to the founding philosophy of the House and its symbiotic relationship with nature.

The Ecobox is part of Perrier-Jouët’s global commitment to nature at every stage of the production of its champagnes, from the vine to the finished product. Designed and developed in France, the Ecobox is entirely recyclable, made from 100% natural fibers from FSC certified forests. With a weight reduced by 30% compared to the previous box, the Ecobox reduces the impact on the environment.
