Museum announces Louboutin retrospective
18/11/2011
The exhibition, which will run from March 28 until July 1, will celebrate Christian Louboutin's over the last 20 years, revealing "the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers and bejewelled pumps", the museum said.
It will examine the many sources of his creativity, shoes inspired by performance, cabaret and the showgirl; fantasy and fairy tale; art and architecture; film; landscape and travel. The exhibition will also focus on the handcrafted shoe, one-off designs which incorporate his ideas, forms and materials.
At the core of the exhibition will be an exploration of the shoe design process, taking the visitor through every stage, from the initial drawing and first prototype through to production in the factory.
