After 40 years of designing shoes, Sex And The City made Manolo Blahnik a fashion icon. There’s only one problem — the Spanish-born shoe god never wanted to be a celebrity!
Manolo Blahnik’s name became synonymous with the hit fashion-obsessed franchise after series protagonist Carrie Bradshaw Blahnik’s on the show in the late 1990s. Although he credits the long-running series with saving his pnce fleeting empire and cementing the shoe’s place in pop culture history, Blahnik, 66, is “sick” of seeing his luxury heels on the hoffs of Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the Sex gang.
The designer is desperate to distance his brand from the wildly-popular series.
“If people talk to me about Sex And The City, I get sick,” he revealed in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph on Sept. 6. “The taxi drivers recognize me now. It becomes too much and I don’t feel comfortable. I have never wanted to be a celebrity designer.”

ok that doesn't make sense, but it has shoe in it
ok, nevermind. you acknowledged that it wasn't funny.
like he's not grateful for the millions of dollars they put in his pocket.
If you are too good for SaTC, then give back all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the show has earned you.
But he is complaining about something that has helped make him rich.
He could be a little more thankful. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Ugh, why do rich people complain so much?
the shoes were already successful to become such an adored item on the show. and they would continue to be. clientele like that don't care about how famous their expensive items are. in fact, some stop buying when the products mainstream.
