RunwayStyle: Louboutin

I braved a 5am start yesterday and attended the official opening of the Louboutin exhibition. I wasn't disappointed. Famous for the glossy red sole, his shoes are on almost every girls wishlist- including mine! The exhibition celebrates twenty years of the iconic shoe designer featuring shoes inspired by cabaret and showgirl; landscape and travel; art and archhitecture; fantasy and fairytale. His innovative use of textiles and materials is astonishing, constructing what can only be described as a bedazzling collection of luxury shoes.

The layout of the exhibition is A-MAZING. Greeted by a brightly lit arch, showcasing the most perfect of shoes, it inspires confidence for what is to follow. The central space is dominated by a carousel, helter-skelter and a spinning top which is juxtaposed with a dark room featuring shoes from the 2007 Fetish collection- very sexy and ridiculously high! This is accompanied by photographs taken as part of a collaboration with Louboutin and David Lynch and features sensual shots of naked women showcasing his shoes. There is also a section dedicated to the design process, Louboutin's Parisian atelier recreated with panoramic photographs bringing the creative workshop to life.

There is no way the written word can do this exhibition justice. Its extravangance and beauty is mindblowing. My advice is to check it out yourself! In the meantime however, you can indulge in some of the photos...
