Manolo Blahnik 'sick' of Sex and the City

Carrie Bradshaw may adore her Manolo Blahnik heels, but the designer himself saves little love for the TV show that helped make his name.

As filming for the sequel kicks off in New York, Blahnik has revealed that he's more than a little bored of being linked to the fashion-filled franchise, telling the Sunday Telegraph, 'If people talk to me about Sex and the City I get sick.'

Although a designer for nearly 40-years, Blahnik's status soared when Sarah Jessica Parker's small screen fashionista namechecked her love of his heels week-after-week on the hit show.

Now, speaking on his newfound fame he told the paper in horror, 'It's sweet but it becomes too much and I don't feel comfortable. I have never wanted to be a celebrity designer.'

Admitting the association had provided his business with a boost though, he added, 'Well, we had a very good year last year, thanks to those stupid satin shoes (which SJP wore in the movie). That shoe saved our company.'

Filming for the SATC sequel started last week, with Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall all already spotted filming on location in NY.

And perhaps word of Mr Blahnik's distaste had already got back SJP. While she was rocking her signature skyscrapers, there wasn't a Manolo in sight, and she's instead sported a string of Christian Louboutin designs. Looks like Carrie has a new favourite!
