An extraordinary monograph created by Christian Louboutin, renowned
for his beautifully crafted handmade shoes, in particular his
elegantly sexy stilettos. This stunning volume, with a
fanciful and intricate pop-up, an elaborate foldout cover, and
dramatic still-life photography, evokes the artistry and
theatricality of Louboutin's shoe designs. Celebrated for his
vertiginously high stilettos with their signature lacquer-red
soles, Louboutin has achieved cult status with celebrities as well
as fashionistas. His eclectic and exotic designs, often
incorporating feathers, beads, and sequins, are a constant and
dramatic presence on the red carpet and in nightclubs and
restaurants the world over. Louboutin's first book, this monograph
highlights the extraordinary range of his couture, from his iconic
and glamorous creations to his fetishistic pieces, including his
collaborations with David Lynch, meant more for the bedroom than
the street. New photography captures Louboutin's artistic
sensibilities, while an in-depth interview reveals Louboutin's
life, travels, and inspirations, presenting a very personal look at
the man behind the shoes. A work of art in itself, with a
five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up, Christian Louboutin is an
enticing and revelatory look at the most important luxury shoe
designer of our day. The book is divided into six chapters. The
first chapter covers Louboutin's biography, his start as a designer
from his work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to his first
boutique in 1992, and his early creations and influences
illustrated with many never-seen-before photos from his personal
archives; chapter two features the Louboutin boutiques around the
world showcasing the varied and extravagant interior designs and
displays; chapter three is "20 years of design" and highlights his
shoe designs from over the years with all-new still-life
photography, as well as editorial art; chapter four features the
spectacular interiors of Louboutin's homes in Paris and Luxor,
Egypt, and behind-the-scenes shots from his studios and workshops;
chapter five focuses on his creative collaborations with David
Lynch, of a series called "Fetish," of limited-edition shoes by
Louboutin and limited-edition photos by Lynch; chapter six is a
complete catalogue raisonne of his work, with photos of all 120
shoe designs.
