Sshh! Manolo Blahnik Sample Sale on Thursday
Manolo Blahnik

The secret's officially out -- much to the dismay of many VIP invitees who were likely hoping to avoid a mob scene: Manolo Blahnik's sale will take place this week at the Warwick Hotel in midtown.

Given the typically intimate nature of the sale (typically editors and VIPs are granted access in the morning, with the adoring public getting dibs on Blahnik's gorgeous shoes in the afternoon), it's likely many who brave the line come Thursday will leave empty-handed. That probably won't stop the masses, though, and we'll be on hand to document the hysteria.

As we said, most folks are so tight-lipped about the sale that we can't confirm the start time (especially what time they'll start letting the public at large in to see the goods), but we can confirm the day and place.

Manolo Blahnik Sale
Thursday at the Warwick Hotel, 54th Street and 6th Avenue
