I'm still sighing about this exposition, the shoes are amazing pieces of art.
The exposition graciously celebrates 20 years of Christian Louboutin's career.
They have different spaces in the exposition divided between the main room with a lot of displays and one stage along the middle, one room about his history, one with a video of him dancing with Broadway dancers, a exposition about his studio and a fetish room - this one is very artistic.
See this serie (Loubi Angels)
After all that, when you come back to the main room, on the stage there is a presentation of Dita Von Teese with holographic system every 15 minutes and it is fantastic - very technologic. The exposition ticket is 11,00£. Is proibed take pictures.
You also can visit the rest of the museum :) with really nice well-designed pieces including the olympic torch.
Design Museum is near Tower Bridge Station, you have to cross the bridge and it's by the river's edge.
The guardian:
From the press conference podium Louboutin explains that one of the difficulties of the exhibition was that the shoes were necessarily seen as objects rather than being viewed worn. "When I am designing it starts from a sketch but is never complete until the moment of seeing it on someone's foot," he says.
He also gave some clues as to what might be missing from the exhibition. Telling an anecdote from his time at the Folies Bergère where the showgirls would put veal carpaccio into their shoes for comfort (the lack of blood in the veal makes them more effective insoles apparently) he reiterated that while he wasn't against it in principle, he certainly didn't want his designs to evoke comfort first. He also joked that he had "never met a woman who wanted shorter legs". The Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum, London, runs until Monday 9 July.
I realy like this one! Alex -2012
