Manolo Blahnik for J. Crew Debuts at NYFW

If you’ve ever answered the question “which Sex and the City character am I?” as Carrie Bradshaw with a sprinkle of Charlotte York, then listen up: Manolo Blahnik is teaming up with J. Crew!

Debuting at Fashion Week, the collection was revealed on the runway—a sole pair of Manolo’s in the classic “BB” pump style, combined with pastel fabrics and ethereal floral prints, exclusive only to the J. Crew brand (oh, and with glitter of course).  The collab is apparently a dream-fulfilled for creative director Jenna Lyons, who has been pining to team up with Blahnik for years.

Come Fall 2012, the pumps will be available for purchase online-only at Jcrew.com. But don’t pull out the plastic just yet… unlike other designer collaborations; there won’t be any discounted duds here. The shoes will likely sell for the same amount that a typical pair of Manolo’s cost, somewhere in the $595 range. Then again, another peek at the pictures and I think a month of Ramen noodles might not be so bad after all.
