Reviews

'Exquisite design sketches … Blahník’s richly coloured drawings are often exuberantly exaggerated - hyper-arched with impossibly thin heels - which add to the sense of magic that imbues his designs … Presented here on a grand scale' - Metro

'Sketches, photographs of the sometimes gravity-defying heels and insights into his inspirations' - Vogue

'A glorious book for shoe addicts' - Tatler
