Become The Life Of The Party With Christian Louboutin


The festive season is fast approaching, bringing with it an abundance of fancy functions for you to strut your stuff at, especially around the new year. In timely fashion, our first drop from Christian Louboutin’s SS19 Pre-Collection places a deliberate focus on party pieces that range from flamboyant to regal and everything in between.



Rantus Orlato Flat Wallgraf High Top Trainers

Christian Louboutin’s SS19 campaign is brought to life with their brand new artisanal collection, ‘Loubigraf’. Drawing inspiration from decorative street art, Loubigraf is punctuated with loud and lively graphic prints and bold colour palettes that are a testament to the free-flowing creative expression of the label.

Christian Louboutin’s iconic Rantus Orlato model gets the Loubigraf treatment in our SS19 showcase. The ‘Wallgraf’ print is characterised by its colourful graffiti graphics, which are featured primarily in a multicoloured colourway and offset beautifully by a black and white body trim.



Louis P Strass Flat High Top Trainers

Christian Louboutin’s love affair with the mesmerising stass crystal has been well documented in collections gone by and is now a matter of common knowledge among Loubi fans. These rhinestone gems sit proudly as the centrepiece of the Louis P Strass trainer and are the mark of meticulous craftsmanship and detail that defines the label.

The model is rounded off excellently by its lustrous ‘Shantung Lurex’ body quarters - another emerging hallmark of Christian Louboutin’s SS19 showcase.



Rantus Orlato Flat Shantung Lurex High Top Trainers

This interpretation of the Rantus Orlato silhouette is a decidedly elegant affair. Cloaked almost entirely in the aforementioned ‘Shantung Lurex’, the fabric’s metallic undertone has a subtle lustre that imbues the trainer with an unmistakably luxurious spirit. The seamless blend of sophistication and lavishness makes Christian Louboutin’s high top as suited to the city streets as it is to the red carpet.



Lou Spikes Orlato Crosta Wax High Top Trainers

Yet another popular unit from the annals of Christian Louboutin classics receives a unique facelift for the SS19 season. This version of their signature Lou Spikes Orlato high top features an irresistibly smooth, cracked suede leather body and is complete with a glossy, ‘Crosta Wax’ finish. It’s a perfect example of the standard of intricate detailing that reaffirms that Christian Louboutin simply doesn’t do 'ordinary'.

Iconic gunmetal-tone spike embellishments accumulate at the toe and add the finishing touch to another Louboutin masterpiece.
