Red Lacquer Soles

My Daughter treated me to a high-heeled trip downtown to the Christian Louboutin exhibit which is in Toronto until September 15th. The show-stopping creations of iconic French designer of footwear were highlighted to display the theatrical spirit of Louboutin.

The sky-high heels are displayed on a playful carousel that twirls around tempting you to touch {but you dare not}. A room size red lacquer run-way mimics the sole of a shoe providing the perfect stage for the famous creations. A hologram featuring Dita von Tesse brings the allure of wearing sexy heels to the top of the stage at the heel, while a red tufted seating area is snuggled in the toe.
This is just a portion of the enormously creative exhibit that kept us captivated and drooling. Here are some of my favourites from the event..........

The Pensee {Pansie} Series is what started the red sole revolution.

My Daughter recently gifted me with the Christian Louboutin book that outlines his 'twenty year's of design'.  The book itself is a work of art that features a pop-up and five-piece fold out in addition to the story of Louboutin's career. I already have a spot for it on the new coffee table in the living room when Cardinal House is complete.

I'm not sure if the exhibit is heading to another city, details of further tour dates was non-existent. If it does point a well heeled toe near you, be sure to visit.
