Fashion icon, Christian Louboutin celebrates 20 years of the opening of its first store in Paris with a series of events that included the release of a commemorative collection, the Capsule Collection, and an exhibition that began earlier this month in London’s Design Museum, which is a retrospective of the work of this artist who can translate elegance and girl power in her creations.
The passion for shoes began as a child. To 11 years, during a visit to the Museum of Arts of Africa and Oceania, located in Paris, the small Christian saw an image of a high-heeled shoe that never again would come out of his imaginary. Heeled fan, he has stated in a few interviews that prioritizes comfort in his creations. “Comfort is definitely not my priority. I hate the concept of comfort. It’s like when people say ‘ well, we’re not exactly in love, but in a comfortable relationship. You are leaving a lot of ideas when it’s very comfortable, “said designer to” The New Yorker “magazine.
Shops
After the opening of the first boutique in Vero-Dodat, Paris, the Louboutin’s creations have won the World Cup. Today, one can buy designer pieces in 53 countries. The first shop of artist in Latin America was installed in Brazil, in 2009, in a mall in São Paulo. Today, in addition to the store in São Paulo, the Brazilian fans can also make purchases at the store brand in Brasilia. The simplest model goes for $ 1,082.
Rouge
The Red soles is the registered trademark of Christian Louboutin shoes and was born in the beginning of the artist’s career. In 1992, Louboutin saw a painting Assistant the toenails of a vibrant red, and had the idea to paint the soles of shoes which drew with a similar red, to give more “energy” to the shoes. With the success, the designer got in 2008 the US Patent and Trademark, trademark patent, for the Red soles of shoes.
The use of Red soles also was the pivot of a process that moved against designer Yves St. Laurent for trademark infringement. Louboutin lost the lawsuit, but that matters little to those who like and can a model of artist. Lynsey And there are few celebrities clicked with one of his creations. Just to name a few examples: Sarah Jessica Parker; the twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen; Scarlett Johansson; and Blake Lively. For those who can!
Also beauty face
If the Red of the shoes of Christian Louboutin are object of desire, that feeling will not be confined only to footwear. The designer will launch, in partnership with the American company Batallure, the Christian Louboutin Beauté. The inspiration is the bust of Nefertiti-where, says the designer, “you can see a beauty and makeup absolutely perfect.” Predictably, the launch in 2013 luxury line must have a global distribution, but there is still no news of arrival in stores in Brazil.
