Where does the kitsch end and where does the fashion begin? Christian Louboutin needs no more introductions to the fashion world. Or any other world. His legendary red soles revolutionized the soles world forever.
What about the advertising world, then? Controversial but truly catchy, the new ad campaign from Christian Louboutin comes like a gong for the credit crunched fashion world. Taking the sure path of a certified success when hiring a great photographer (Peter Lippmann), Christian Louboutin’s Spring Summer 2009 collection took the still side of fashion photography by storm. (the story continues with more pictures right after the jump!)
Flowers, fruits, birds, food, candy, you can find something for any taste, but mostly, for the red-soles-fans. (there’s a picture of the highly coveted and copied ruffled Philip Lim, too!) You can’t leave the goth behind, so make room for some well assorted skulls, carefully styled by Amandine Moine and Nicolas Menu. (heavily photoshopped, but why hold it against them for this one?) Wouldn’t you hang these pictures in your walk-in closet? (viewonfashion via fwd)

Love these! I wouldn’t have expected such whimsy in Louboutin ads, which makes them all the more appealing.
So Louboutins present themselves as the new romantics? It works, this is a beautiful ad campaign. The last photo reminds of Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette”.
I think whoever had the first idea about this campaign was really a genius. And the great idea was doubled by the excellent print job!
Wow colour me in love with his shoes! All of them! This ad campaign is quite stellar!
