Hi everyone !
Today's topic is an exhibition that anyone in London should
go and see: The Christian Louboutin exhibition at the London Design Museum.
The designer gathered here a number of the best models he
created since the start of the brand. From the end of 1980s until today, he chose to
show a range of shoes with original designs and specific themes. Among the themes dealt with by Louboutin is the work he did for the fetish
scene, and the models he created in this set of mind. The exhibition is
also completed by a short movie starring Dita Van Teese and advertising another model of his shoes.
As it was impossible to take pictures within the exhibition,
I have once more used my drawing skills for a few of the models, in order to
share with you what I have seen:
Isanami, A/W 08/09
Patent leather in gold colour, metal spikes, strass
Plumetta, A/W 94/95

Those shoes are among the ones which I
personally found most impressive for the design and the type of heel, but many
other ones were worth seeing too, so you know what's left for you to
do now !
