what's new wednesday: manolo blahnik spring 2011

like anything else, things come and go, in and out of vogue. today's shoe headlines belong to christian louboutin, but that too will pass, to be replaced by another designer.

it's easy to dismiss manolo blahnik as the designer of yesteryear, when sex and the city was the most popular show on TV and blahnik received publicity left and right courtesy of carrie bradshaw. but after persuing the spring 2011 collection, I have to say, I think he's still got it. I'm not saying I like everything, necessarily, but blahnik is still creating fresh, edgy, creative designs that are completely current. do you agree?
