Shoes and Champagne- a match made in heaven

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Following a string of successful collaborations with the likes of Barbie and Ladurée, it seems that Christian Louboutin has done it again; this time he has united with Champagne company Piper-Heidsieck to create a crystal stiletto champagne flute. Said to be inspired by the 19th century tradition which originated at the Bolshoi Ballet in Russia whereby gentlemen would declare their love for their chosen lady by toasting them by filling their shoe with Champagne, this package will surely make the ultimate romantic gesture.

The specially designed crystal shoe will make the perfect gift for the discerning fashionista, and of course has been designed to feature the iconic Louboutin red sole. Already labelled a classic in the world of designer collaborations, the red label of Piper-Heidsieck perfectly compliments the elegant shoe.

‘Le Rituel’ package consists of a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck Brut Champagne and the 14cm high stiletto glass heel. It is currently available worldwide major departments stores and is priced at USD 500.

Louboutin ensures Barbie remains fabulous at fifty

She may have just hit fifty, but Barbie has never looked better. Over the past year fashion designer Christian Louboutin has adopted Barbie as his honorary goddaughter; back in September at New York Fashion Week his models took to the catwalks wearing hot pink Barbie-inspired, Louboutin-designed heels and this celebrity collaboration is set to go further.

Just in time for Christmas, the self-confessed Barbie fan has united with Barbie creators Mattel, and Net-a-Porter to launch three customized dolls as well as producing a calendar documenting the year which the new best friends have spent together. The dolls have been specially adapted with a new in-step so that they can wear higher heels, as each doll comes with four pairs of Barbie sized Louboutin’s packaged in miniature shoe boxes.

Available from December the Christian Louboutin Barbie set costs GBP 100 and will make a perfect stocking filler, although you may prefer to start saving for a pair in your own size.
