An exhibition showcasing luxury shoes designed by Christian Louboutin, which opened at the Design Museum in London on 1 May, has broken all previous visitor figure records with an average daily attendance of 910 visitors. To date the exhibition has attracted over 38,000 visitors and still has three weeks to run before closing on July 9.
 
To accommodate demand the Design Museum has announced an extension in its opening hours. The exhbition will stay open until 9.45pm on the following dates: Wednesday, June 27, Friday, June 29, and Saturday, June 30, and until 8pm on Sunday, July 1.
 
The exhibition celebrates Christian Louboutin’s career to date, “revealing the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance”, the organisers said.
 
For his part, Christian Louboutin reacted to the news of the exhibition’s popularity by saying: “It’s been a real pleasure to see a lot of my ‘babies’ featured all together for the first time. It’s not only an entire collection of shoes but for me a huge collection of souvenirs, precious moments, and very rarely sorrows.”
