So, you know Louboutins, right? Those iconic red-bottomed shoes that scream “I have taste, and possibly a trust fund”? Yeah, those. But where does all that, like, *magic* come from? It’s not just poofing into existence, is it?
Well, according to some whispers I’ve been hearing (and the snippets you’ve probably also seen scattered across the internet), the inspiration is actually all over the place. Like, a total hodgepodge. For example, that Miss Z collection that everybody is talking about? People are saying that Zendaya is the muse. Which, like, makes total sense. She’s chic. She’s got that effortless cool thing going on. I’m pretty sure she can pull off anything… even Crocs. (Okay, maybe not Crocs). It is worth mentioning that Law Roach is also involved. Those two together are a match made in heaven.
And then there’s this whole thing with Maison Margiela. John Galliano and Christian Louboutin collaborating? Honestly, it’s kind of mind-blowing. The Tabi shoe, but Louboutin-ified? That’s a collab I didn’t know I needed. Makes you wonder what kinda crazy brainstorming sessions they had. Probably fueled by espresso and a whole lotta “darling, let’s make it *more* fabulous!”
But hold on, the inspiration train doesn’t stop there! The article mentions “highly sculptural lines” on some Louboutin pieces. Like, isn’t that just fancy talk for “this shoe looks like a work of art”? I bet he’s drawing inspo from architecture or even, you know, just staring at a cool building and thinking, “Yep, gonna make a heel outta that.” It could happen!
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the Loubiella sandal. Inspired by… wait for it… *Louboutin* himself. Okay, so maybe that’s a bit meta. But hey, who knows what goes on in that brilliant brain of his? Maybe he just looked in the mirror one day and thought, “You know what? I’m fabulous. Let’s make a shoe that embodies me.” I mean, wouldn’t you?
The new eyewear collection is also a major deal because it is the first collection with Marcolin. I wonder what icons they were inspired by to create the 25 styles.
