Isolation in colors: Manolo Blahnik invited everyone at home to paint the brand’s legendary shoes

If your quarantined days have already merged into one solid gray ball of boredom and home routine, if you feel like your creativity has left you forever, it’s time to draw with Manolo Blahnik! 

Shoe brand launched a creative program The Art of Coloring that can help you to not only get your rhythm back, but also to bring a sense of calm as well as encourage positive thoughts and mindfulness in this challenging time of isolation. 

“Creative freedom is a form of escapism, something we need now more than ever. I have used my creativity not only to entertain my own imagination but also in hope that I bring happiness to others and make them smile! This time, I ask the world to do the same–let us all spread joy, share creativity and inspire one another,” Manolo Blahnik says. 

The designer shared the selection of the original sketches made in the form of the coloring book. The gallery with 5 sketches available to download is posted at manoloblahnik.com. Each pair of shoes has a description that includes the model name and some information about how and when it was created. 

All participants are encouraged to share their creations on ******* using #ManoloBlahnikSmile. Best sketches may be shared with the brand’s community.  

The program is also dedicated to the Manolo Blahnik’s Smile Project in support of the UK Mental Health Foundation which helps people with management tips, working methods and acts of kindness.
