Manolo Blahnik Celebrates Sarah Hoover’s New Book!

37

Literature and shoes proved a chic combination for Manolo Blahnik on Thursday night! The luxury shoe brand tapped author Sarah Hoover to celebrate the launch of her new memoir, The Motherland, with a lively party at its Madison Avenue boutique. Surrounded by the label’s newest collections—including colorful satin pumps, jewel-toned mens’ loafers, and an array of Hangisi heels—attendees stayed refreshed with Clase Azul Gold margaritas, mocktails, and light bites. During the occasion, everyone had the opportunity to shop for new Blahnik shoes, with proceeds from each purchase benefiting maternal health nonprofit Every Mother Counts.

For added fun, guests could sit down with an on-site tarot card reader to learn more about their futures—which many are certainly pondering as the new year begins! To close the celebratory night, everyone left with a signed copy of Hoover’s memoir, plus colorful Blahnik shoe prints and Tata Harper body oil. Attendees included Emmy Rossum, Cynthia Rowley, Charlotte Groeneveld, Hunter Abrams, Candace Bushnell, Alexandra O’Neill, Lily Mortimer, Lydia Fenet, Isabella Boylston, Nell Diamond, Fran Martin, Lauren Picciano, Tatiana Hambro, Leigh Lezark, Rebecca Goodman-Krantz, Emily Matheson, and more.
