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.

Review

-- "Louboutin's book will have you craving for another scarlet-soled pair in no time." ~Plastik

"A stunning volume, it features a 5-piece fold-out cover, a binding of pink faux-leather, a magical interior pop-up, as well as gilded pages. With five chapters—A Life; The Shoes; Fetish; The Places; and Twenty Years—this elegant monograph reveals the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin’s shoe designs, from his iconic stilettos to his fetishistic pieces and everything in between." ~FashionWindows.net

Obsessed with this book just like I am with Louboutin shoes!

Oh my lord this book is gorgeous inside and out! And the gold edged pages are just spectacular! I did have a few pages that were stuck together like I read in some of the reviews. I very slowly pulled them apart and luckily they suffered no damage. The cover is a soft blush color--not pale pink. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spectacular coffee table book or just for someone who loves high heels.

Not sure how these are stored, but I received one where the pages were stuck together and tore when I tried to open it. Had a second one sent that did the same exact thing. Very disappointing.

Gorgeous book but pages stuck together

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is truly beautiful. However, I have now had to return two. The back 1/5 (or so) of the book has laminated pages that stick together. On delivery, the pages were completely stuck together and you could not separate this pages without ripping them. I am totally gutted as it seems that the book was possibly not stored at the right temperature and it really is beautiful.

The item is heavily damaged all photo pages stuck together and ripped other pages as seen in pictures. Hardback parts are heavily damaged too.
This is very disappointing as it’s a gift, I also would like a full refund and replacement ASAP

Gorgeous Book....Except pages being stuck together!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Beautiful book, but being returned as back pages (about 1/5th of the book) were all stuck together. The pages are shiney with photos on them, when carefully peeling the pages open the paper ripped in places. Some of the images had also transferred to the page opposite where the pages had been stuck together. It’s like the book has been stored at the wrong temperature - such a shame as the rest of the book is lovely!
