British luxury shoemaker Manolo Blahnik hosted a private cultural gathering at Shanghai’s Harrods Tea Room featuring exclusive products and design legacy discussions. The event continued a narrative begun with the brand’s sponsorship of the “Marie Antoinette Style” exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in September. Global CMO Jodie Blake led discussions with gemologist Emilie-Ye and designer Jacques Wei, exploring how history influences modern luxury. The event showcased the new Marie Antoinette limited capsule collection, offering a contemporary interpretation of 18th-century court style alongside the wedding shoe line.
