The Christian Louboutin exhibition, which opened at the Design Museum on 1 May, was the first retrospective of the famous high fashion/heels French designer in the UK.
Although they belong best on women’s feet, the iconic stilettos and lace boots were spectacularly exhibited by the Design Museum. Exposed around a three dimensional holographic performance by burlesque performer Dita Von Teese or on some instances in beginning of the century Parisian cabarets, illuminated in a playground carousel or displayed as fantasy creatures on mirrored pedestals in gardens from “Alice in Wonderland”.
Isn’t Mr Louboutin the first Gentleman on earth, adoring each women’s curve much and honoring their glamour, power and elegance with his red sole shoe?
I couldn’t be in London for this event and surely will still cry about it 10 years from now. I guess that the Design Museum felt my desperation as they gracefully offered me some wonderful pictures from the photographer Luke Haynes to share with you.
