Manolo Blahnik Rihanna collaboration: Burlington Arcade

Manolo Blahnik is one of the most sought-after shoe designers in the world, with powers that are said to be so transcendent, he can lengthen and slim a woman's leg from hip to toe.

Pop-star and style icon Rihanna, whose legs need no lengthening, is launching a new collaboration collection with the great man himself on the 5th May exclusively in London, New York and Hong Kong stores.

The collection comprises of six limited-edition designs, priced between £650 and £2,950, and has been inspired by Rihanna's hand tattoos and decorated with sequins and embroidery. The limited-edition capsule collection includes six styles featuring a selection of sandals, pumps and boots.

"For Manolo Blahnik, Rihanna was a collaboration we were really excited about," the CEO of Manolo Blahnik, Kristina Blahnik told Vogue. "We firmly believed the two of them working hand-in-hand together with their creativity would achieve something totally unique and very special - we are really, really excited for the collection to launch."

These beautiful dark blue shoes will shimmer perfectly surrounded by the neo-classical interior of the Regency townhouse inspired Burlington Arcade store, that opened in February.
