Christian Louboutin Champagne: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:00:33 -0700

From logo lollipops to stylish cupcakes, the merging of fashion and food isn't new. What I haven't seen, however, is a Champagne glass shaped like a shoe! Designed by famed shoe maker Christian Louboutin, this glass slipper was created to coincide with the launch of the brand's own Champagne. In partnership with Piper Heidsieck, the bubbly and shoe are available for a limited time at Colette in Paris, starting Oct. 26. I think both the bottle and glass are incredibly sexy and would love to get my hands on the set! How about you?

Fab Flash: Christian Louboutin Pays Tribute to Barbie

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:00:22 -0800

To celebrate her 50th birthday in style next year, Mattel Inc. has enlisted Christian Louboutin to design a special pair of pumps for Barbie. "I guess I always had a little 'girlie side' who liked Barbie," said Louboutin. "Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes." The shoes will be made in the renowned Barbie Pantone 219 Pink and will be unveiled at Mattel's runway show during New York Fashion Week in February. Mattel has also enlisted 50 yet-to-be-named designers to create Barbie-inspired outfits for the show. Lucky doll!

Christian Louboutin Emily Shoe Boots: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 15:10:22 -0700

How funny! I had bookmarked these Christian Louboutin Emily Shoe Boots, $925, to feature and then I noticed that Leeluvfashion had posted it in the Love It or Hate It? group. Great minds think alike. But back to the shoe. In theory they're brilliant. I love the buttons and the two-tone with black patent toe. However, they're way too high for me. What do you think?

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:10:22 -0700

It looks like most of you didn't fancy these Christian Louboutin Emily Shoe Boots, $925, the first time around. But what if I told you I found a look-a-like for way less? Would you give them another thought? For all you supposed haters...

These Steve Madden Chap Boots, $150, are now available for pre-order. The good news is that they come in a handful of other colors (black leather, black patent, creme, brown, grey, saddle, fuchsia and mustard) so chances are you'll find one you like. Just be careful when walking on those 4.25-inch heels, they'll take you sky-high.

The first thing I spotted on wendyelle were her laced-up sassy boots. Talk about a statement shoe! Join the sexy militia. The Fab reader kept the rest of her look tame - good going, those shoes need no competition. Cool ring, by the way.

Here's what she has on:

On Our Radar: Women Choose Shoes Over Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Can it be? Have shoes replaced bags as the hottest fashion item? If so, I'm not complaining. I have a growing collection of bags, but as of late, I've become quite bored of the options out there. But the Spring shoe department, which houses such rarities as this MIu Miu Cutout Harlequin Bootie ($890), is a whole different story.

It seems the trend of naming bags after models and celebrities is now being used on footwear. Giambattista Valli has created a Victoria shoe in honor of Mrs. Beckham, while Calvin Klein made a Suri shoe, named after Tom Cruise's daughter. Also, unusual designs and materials used on bags is now being used on footwear. If that's not proof enough, department store Harvey Nichols has reported a 15 percent rise in shoe sales this season and a higher demand for runway heels. Adversely, a recent survey has forecast an 18 percent drop in handbag sales. It's also being predicted that women will soon spend more money on expensive shoes than bags. Do you buy it?

Fab Field Trip: Saks' San Francisco's Spankin' New Shoe Department

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:00:22 -0700

So I'm shoe obsessed. Who isn't? Imagine my elation when I found out the Saks in San Francisco was redoing its shoe department to mirror the famous New York one. The one I visit every time I'm in New York. The one I interviewed Lindsay Price in. The one with its own zip code. The one. Now there's a mini one right outside my office, on my way home, Fab. Team Fab took a peruse through the stunning new department and it's an underground shoe haven, complete with floating glass bubbles and 1,100 shoes. New brands include Ann Demeulemeester, Givenchy (yes!), Dries van Noten, and Gianvito Rossi. Shoes are displayed on various posh surfaces and a variety of chandeliers make the space feel warm and inviting. The curved banquettes make trying on shoes a deeply fabulous experience.

What made us swoon? Favorites included sequined Miu Mius, bowed Valentinos, edgy Givenchys, cheeky Chanels, and artsy Drieses. Oh, and the most massive Louboutin display, ever. They have more Louboutins than the Louboutin store in Paris. I kid you not. If you happen to be in SF anytime soon, put this on your itinerary.

Freaky or Fabulous? Barneys Shoes Cause Collisions

FabSugar — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 07:55:22 -0700

Barneys' shoes are so hot, they cause collisions. No seriously. Have you seen Barneys' newsletters? There is one with Givenchy's whip stitch sandals, but this one with Christian Louboutin's Barneys Trash Slingback Platforms ($995) - which Rihanna owns - is serious. Look at that three-way car accident. Gasp! Judging from the horrific scene, it doesn't look like anyone made it out alive. What do you think, freaky or fabulous?
