Christian Louboutin at Design Exchange
Hot on the heels (in both the literal and metaphorical sense) of my last post on Christian Louboutin's retrospective exhibition
and conference at the Toronto Design Exchange, as promised, I'm
bringing you an insider peek at the glorious bounty of shoes on offer.
The exhibition itself is displayed in a Vegas-come-Cirque Du Soleil
aesthetic to reveal the artistry behind the inspiration; that is, film,
theatre, circus, architecture and Louboutin's showgirl muses, the likes
of which include Dita Von Teese. The displays are then seamlessly
divided to showcase these central themes, with curated sections of
Transparency, Travel, Architecture, Entertainment and Handcrafted, all
flowing from the central "Showgirl" installation of a 17-metre long
signature red sole.
