There’s nothing that makes a girl feel more beautiful than a perfect pair of shoes. We can have a bad hair day or feel like we can’t fit into our favourite jeans, but a perfect shoe always fits and magically transforms us into a princess for the day.
As we mentioned yesterday in our post, Best Tweets From the Christian Louboutin Opening at DX, the fashion world of Toronto is totally hypnotized right now by the Design Exchange‘s exhibit, “Christian Louboutin,” a retrospective on the 21-year career of the famed shoe designer. Sure, it’s here until the fall, but why not be one of the first to see it now that the exhibit is in its full swing? After all, being fashionably late is only apropos for late-night parties. To inspire you to check out the exhibit, here are the top 5 Christian Louboutin ad campaigns of all time. Here’s to feeling beautiful!
Christian Louboutin Campaign | Fall 2011
Every little girl grows up dreaming of a Cinderella slipper moment. When we’re finally actual grownups, we might be disappointed in the so-called princes out there, but we can always buy our own Louboutins, which is actually much, much better. This fairytale inspired campaign totally captured the childlike magic of the power of shoes.
Christian Louboutin Campaign | Fall 2011
Inspired by famous portraits of women, Christian Louboutin re-imagined these masterpieces with contemporary models and, of course, his shoes.
Christian Louboutin Campaign | Fall 2008
Photographer Philip Lippmann shot the Christian Louboutin’s F/W ’08/’09 campaign, which was styled by Amandine Moine to look like 18th century Baroque still-life paintings.
Christian Louboutin Campaign | Fall 2012
Christian Louboutin worked with photographer Peter Lippman again to capture this Paris-inspired campaign.
Christian Louboutin Campaign | Spring 2013
Peter Lippmann shot the Christian Louboutin Spring 2013 shoe collection with a fishing dock as the set. We would totally pick up fishing if it meant catching designer shoes. Perhaps there’s a reference here to “pecher,” which means both “to fish” and “to sin” in French? Je ne sais pas!
