VPOD: Sole Desire: The Shoes of Christian Louboutin

There's still time to catch the first exhibition to feature the work of Christian Louboutin. Examples of his work from The Museum at FIT and the Christian Louboutin archives will be on display at The Museum at FIT until April 19th.

Born in 1964, Christian Louboutin began sketching shoes at the age of 11, and his red-soled shoes are now worn by celebrities and fashion-conscious women worldwide. His "Pansy" Mary Janes, featured here, are made of silk crepe and suede and scream "Springtime." One wonders if they were influenced by the time he spent as a landscape designer. (Yes, a landscape designer!)

Not near NYC? Be sure to check out the online exhibition here to read more about this talented designer. And don't miss the "Shoe Lexicon" section to learn the definition of every shoe term imaginable.

This is "sole" food for a vintage fashionista!
