'Sex and the City': Manolo Blahnik bites the hand that feeds him
Twitter

Designer Manolo Blahnik never wanted to be a "celebrity designer," but after years of having his name bandied about in reverential tones on "Sex and the City" that's exactly what happened.Blahnik tells the Sunday Telegraph, "If people talk to me about 'Sex and the City' I get sick ... It becomes too much and I don't feel comfortable."
Oh, it's hard to be a success.
Adding insult to injury, if it weren't for the first "Sex and the City" movie, Blahnik may have gone under last year.
"We had a very good year last year, thanks to those stupid satin shoes. That shoe saved our company," he admits, referring to the $895 royal blue pumps with crystal buckle that were to be the first occupants of Carrie's closet in her and Big's new home.So will "Sex and the City 2" fuel Blahnik's hatred? Maybe, but for entirely different reasons. Word from the set is that Carrie Bradshaw has switched her allegiance to the red soles of Christian Louboutin.

While those shoes are gorgeous, I still can't wrap my head around those that spend $500 on a pair of shoes.

He really should be grateful! Sex and the City turned Manolo Blahnik into a household name - and made him millions!

It's not just insulting to SATC but to every woman who bought a pair of those "stupid" shoes... for $895 a pair!!! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Worse than upsetting SATC, if he makes these women feel stupid for buying his shoes they'll certainly never do it again. What an idiot.
those shoes are so ugly anyway!!
cant go wrong with chinnese knock offs....
At $895 for a pair of shoes maybe he should be going out of business.
ungrateful douche!!
