“He would be so inspired,” Blahnik informed us. “My uncle is the most curious human you’ll ever meet and he loves to absorb experiences, energies, conversations, thoughts, opinions, passions. I think he’d be in his element here. I’m so sad he’s not here. He started with menswear. That’s where his passion lay at the beginning and he moved into womenswear because, at that time, it was a much wider net that you could cast in terms of creativity. Of course that’s changed completely now. There’s no limits anymore to what you can do.”
