Christian Louboutin's sumptuous Spring/Summer Two-thousand-nine collection woos shoe lovers with antique charm, with his still life ad campaign proclaiming his shoes as timeless fixtures of fashion history.
Without question, fashion and art have long since merged, perhaps most notably to the contemporary follower with Yves Saint Laurent at helm with his Composition dresses fashioned after Mondrain's Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red (1937-42) pieces.
Though, since then, fashion disciples have been long affected with grand gestures of art directors hurling viewers into what they imagine as modernity. Yet, Creative Director Nicolas Menu decided something different, more demure, and equally, perhaps more stunning, for Louboutin's Spring/ Summer two-thousand-nine campaign--still life, here particularly, Dutch Golden Age paintings.
Using the pattern, texture and shape of the shoes as a guide, Menu alongside, Stylist Amandine Moine and seen through the renowned still life photographer Peter Lippmann's lens, creates stunning pastiches steeped in elegance complimenting the shoes aesthetics while imbuing them with personality.
From a clam sipping empress hosting a dinner party in her ruffled front silver strapped pumps to the dainty gardening goddesses who's stilettos overflow with pink rose petals and bag lavished in red rose petals compliment the classic red soles a signature of Loubontin's creations, acclaim his followers with whimsical narratives encapsulate the glamour and effortless style that marks Louboutin's brand.
