"Manolo Blahnik: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards," a documentary film about Manolo Blahnik, a shoe brand enthusiastically supported by many celebrities and fashionistas, will be released in Japan on December 23rd. Manolo Blahnik's Perfect Shoes series, elegant yet said to be the "world's only stiletto heels you can run in," has adorned the feet of celebrities including Princess Diana.

The film captures the atelier where the "dream shoes" that captivate women around the world are created, his tranquil home in Bath, England, and his archive of 30,000 shoes. The film explores Manolo's creative process, revealing his eccentric thought process, stylish and beautiful sketches, and a glimpse into the atelier staff as they handcraft the perfect shoes in his Milan, Italy, atelier. Also appearing among the brand's loyal customers are Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue (known for "The Devil Wears Prada"); singer Rihanna; shoe designer Charlotte Olympia; model Iman, wife of the late David Bowie; and fashion designer John Galliano.
