Manolo Blahnik

The understanding of a drawing verses how it translates to a real 3 dimensional product is something every designer (whether it’s fashion, product, architecture, interior, etc) and every client wrestles with. I love love love fashion illustrations, but it’s often difficult for me to see a true relationship between that gorgeous illo and the actual product. These Manolo Blahnik illustrations are fashion in the extreme, meaning no human foot could accomplish what those drawings can do (sad that real human beings can never live up to the desires of the fashion world). Despite that, I think these illustrations are remarkably similar to the finished product.

Stumble it!
