Mount Street Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


There is certainly no shortage of either color or femininity in this Mount Street Bag by Christian Louboutin! Bright fuschia petals cover practically every visible surface for a fun, flouncy effect that's the perfect burst of flirt for any occasion. Of course it features Louboutin's signature red as a lining and his signature shoe clasp fastening on the top, plus a delicate silver bead handle and a single interior compartment.

I think the pink is great but would love to see it in other colors too. $1,495

Is Christian Louboutin Making A Sneaker?

Filed under: Shoes

The fashion world is buzzing about the prospect that Christian Louboutin, famed for red-soled high heels, is coming out with a sneaker. Grazia spotted the leopard-print high-tops at a press day event. No word on price yet but I'm guessing these will be hot sellers. Now the big question is whether or not the bottoms are red.

Christian Louboutin's $5,660 Shoe

Filed under: Shoes

So I'm feeling a bit deflated because I thought these shoes, from Christian Louboutin, which are sold in UK pounds (£3,975) but at today's USD price (according to OANDA) are $5,660, were pricey. And then I saw this post from my colleague Rigel. I'm willing to bet, however, that for many of us, $5,660 is still a chunk o' change for shoes.

Only 36 pairs of these Marie Antoinette-inspired shoes are being made in each color -- ballerina pink, bright yellow, and blue. That means that only 108 women (unless you buy multiple pairs) will have the opportunity to (try to) walk in these high-heeled creations, which are embroidered by Jean-Francois Lesage, a man behind many a couture gown, and decorated with crystals and ribbons. If you prefer to keep these showpieces safe in their box each night, no worries -- they come with a special box.

Available February 24 at a Louboutin boutique near you.

Aionoued Bow Clutch in Satin, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

aionoued bow clutch
We originally covered the Aionoued Bow Clutch back in May when it was featured in chic black alligator leather (and cost a steep $4,190), but as with many things now that the design has been out for awhile the more affordable versions are becoming available. For this Christian Louboutin clutch that means pretty black satin instead of leather, which is just as stylish but cuts the price significantly. It has all the same features, including a hidden magnetic closure and the signature Louboutin red as a lining. $725

Barbie Gets Louboutin Pumps for Her Birthday

Filed under: Shoes

Barbie gets all the good stuff: Ken, the Barbie Dreamhouse, any career she wants, and now a pair of Christian Louboutin designer pumps created just for her.

Barbie turns 50 next year and as part of the celebration Louboutin will be designing her a special pair of pumps in her signature color: Barbie Pantone 219 Pink. Mattel Inc. is planning a special runway fashion show next February that will feature 50 models all wearing Barbie-inspired outfits and, of course, the pink Barbie Louboutin pumps.

I wonder if they'll have little red plastic soles?

Maykimay Strass Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I'm all about the Christian Louboutin clutches lately and this one is no exception. The Maykimay Strass Clutch appears metallic at first glance and closer inspection reveals thousands of shimmering black diamond rhinestones. Very classic but certainly not understated, this clutch is the perfect answer to needing a neutral but not wanting to settle for boring. And since it's by Louboutin you'll be finding reasons all night long to look inside and have an excuse to use the miniature shoe zipper pull and flash the signature bright red interior lining. $2,625

Loubinight Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags, Shoes


Although this creation by Christian Louboutin is a handbag, the Loubinight Satin Clutch still manages to channel the high heeled shoes with signature red soles that he's so famous for designing. Bright, vibrant green satin on the outside and rich, 'signature red' satin on the inside, this clutch's most endearing feature is the darling pair of miniature crystal Louboutin heels (you can tell because they have red soles!) that stand on the bag's top and double as the clasp.

If you're one of those who just can't get enough shoes, then this is the perfect way to wear more than just one pair at a time. $960

Christian Louboutin Thinks Dubai

Filed under: Shoes

Women's shoe designer Christian Louboutin may soon open shop in Dubai, according to the Khaleej Times. The designer's signature red-soled sky-high stilettos seem to fit right into the architectural and style-centered city. The designer says he has been scouting out possible locations in Dubai to appease his following there.

If he doesn't find suitable real estate soon, those in need of a boost might head to christianlouboutin.com, which is set to launch any day now. You can find the pair at right for $1,085 at Bergdorf Goodman.

[Thanks, Ben!]

Christian Louboutin Layered Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Known for his red-soled stilettos, Christian Louboutin doesn't disappoint his devotees with a new season favorite, the Layered Leather Hobo. Created with armor-inspired, scalloped design of carefully stitched calfskin this hobo sports a trough in the middle enhancing the carrier's comfort. Available in signature black with red accents on the outer rings and inner, jacquard lining, this handbag has a zip top closure with signature pull, a 13.5" strap drop length and is available at Saks for $1,995. In a funny little way it reminds me of those little bugs in the garden that we used to call rolly-pollies -- I half expect the bag to roll up into a ball and protect itself from danger. (17" x 12" x 5 1/2")

Cancan Feathered Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I don't think I could necessarily carry this Cancan Feathered Clutch (it reminds me too much of something a Vegas dancer should be wearing on her head) but that doesn't mean it's not fashionable and fun for someone else to buy. This bag is perfect for bringing a little spice to an otherwise simple outfit. Available in black with purple or red details, it features a large satin bow on the front that you can hardly make out beneath all the feathers sticking whimsically in every direction. $1,215

Frolicking in Ford at the Met Gala

Filed under: Apparel, Events, Celebrity Shopping, Men's Style


At the Metropolitan Museum's star-studded Costume Institute Gala in Manhattan the other night, all the best-dressed men wore tuxedos by Tom Ford. While some fellows got creative with their black tie and others simply looked boring in notched lapel numbers, those who sported Ford's threads -- including Gisele Bundchen's football star beau Tom Brady, actors Djimon Hounsou and Jimmy Fallon, and A-list shoe designer Christian Louboutin -- were the evening's standouts.

Ford himself (pictured here with actress Natasha Richardson) went with a classic double-breasted dinner jacket with grosgrain lapels. Brady, Fallon and Louboutin all wore Ford's signature single-breasted peak lapel style; Brady and Fallon went the extra mile with matching waistcoats. Hounsou wore a black three-piece wool and cashmere suit which was equally elegant, as you'll see in the gallery below. Ford's suits start at about $5,000.

Christian Louboutin Mini Aionoeud, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin has finally launched their long awaited and much anticipated handbag line! Right out the gate, it's every bit as luxurious as their shoes. The Mini Aionoeud (..no idea how that is pronounced..) is an chic black alligator clutch bag with a large bow on the front. The inside is lined with red satin, cleverly symbolic of the bottoms of their shoes. It fastens shut with a hidden magnetic closure. I am eager to see how well this bag is received, it retails for $4,190. Available on net-a-porter.com.

In the Bedroom with Dolce & Gabbana

Filed under: Apparel, Books

The world's top fashionistas spend their lives designing things for other people, but they often reserve their true talents for themselves. A glimpse into their personal lives - and not in the tabloid sense - often reveals more about their real sensibilities and style than their runway creations, which are often masked by more commercial concerns.

Marie Bariller's gorgeous new book, Dressing the Home: The Private Spaces of Top Fashion Designers affords a rare glimpse at the interior lives (so to speak) of some of the biggest names in fashion. Included are two houses owned by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who wrote the introduction to the book, and who describe their aesthetic as "luxury that combines romanticism with irony, always executed with care and professionalism."

We also get to see where style stars like Christian Louboutin, Gilles Mendel, Jacopo Etro, Catherine Malandrino, Patrick Cox, Betsey Johnson, and Diane von Furstenberg, among others, hang their hats. As you might expect, they're pretty talented at dressing their homes as well.
