I am all about staying on top of trends, looking for the next big thing, and letting you in on all the sweet details. So while hunting down fabulous shoes, I couldn’t help but to be a bit surprised when I discovered a seriously stylish GUY working heels better than most girls I know. I was completely impressed, wowed and seriously envious of Victor Blanco’s (a stylist from Barcelona Spain) shoe collection. Ladies…finally a guy knows what it is like to walk in our shoes and he does it with panache.
Name: VICTOR BLANCO

Location: BARCELONA, SPAIN
How did you get started as a fashion stylist?
I starting working for luxury stores and realized I wanted to be on my own. While working I had a special “feeling” when I was dressing and helping people with their dressing and helping people with their own image.
Who is your style icon?
I love Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie character, and of course my “sister” Victoria Beckham, we have the same initials and very similar lives.
What are some of the most recent projects you have worked on as a fashion stylist?
Well I actually started to get recognized here in Spain for my “Heel “thing, and have been invited to NYFW and Madrid fashion week, which were both a success. I’d love to become like Rachel Zoe and dress the stars.
When did you start wearing heels and what are your favorite pairs?
I started wearing heels 4 years ago thanks to my friend Aldo, he is from Milan and works for Galliano. He inspired me. I love my Luciano Padovan pair, and my Zanotti ones are to die for! I also love a brand from Spain, Angel Schlesser, he is awesome chic.
What designer do you love to rock for red carpet events?
I love international ones like Marchesa and Rodarte, they are simply beyond! From my own country I love Amaya Arzuaga, Juanjo Olivia and of course Angel Schlesser, I’d love to help make those brands recognized internationally.
Tell us your plans for the future and where you would like to see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years I hope to be world famous because of my work. While continuing with my clients and working with star clients, I look forward to growing my studio and maybe even my own shoe line.
What fabulous wisdom do you live by?
My greatest wisdom comes from thoughts of my mum, she helps me wherever she is, and leads me in the right direction. She passed away two years ago; she is the reason from my success.
