A Match of High Heels

.

The merchandise itself is the star of the show. Christian Louboutin clothes are not about pretty. The line embodies the cerebral side of glamour: That is why empowered modern women have granted the work of Miuccia Christian Louboutin near cult status. And Christian louboutin pas cher is in the details: little quality touches only smart people would notice and covet. What Miuccia has created is an anti-flash uniform that, paradoxically, makes a woman feel individual. In a recent Vanity Fair feature on her Milanese palazzo, she said: "It's typical of the old Milanese bourgeouis. The more you are rich, the more you have to be simple."

Her own early fascination with the Communist Party (not an unusual pur for Italian Catholics of her era) is still evident in the stark forms she favours, as well as the recurring military emblems: Mao collars, teensy little breast pockets on jackets, high armholes. Miuccia has flirted with the hallmarks of basic training since the late eighties, the crush peaking with last fall's Women's Army Corps tribute. But her women-at-arms never obey their curfew.

Miuccia has challenged her fans with outright ugly, as in the fall '96 Miu Miu secondary line: clashy polyester patterns that chaussures louboutin like a bad seventies airport lounge carpet. It is Miuccia's genius to know that at that moment, women wanted to be ugly in thrift-shop '70s poly fibres. She also knew her kind of woman would never pick through secondhand slops.

Spring '97, Miuccia Christian Louboutin did an about face and offered achingly beautiful thigh-high slit silk dresses with intricate Chinese embroidery and gossamer slip dresses with gym bloomers. Not one to be tied into a look, for fall '97, she turned again on her heel. "It's not romantic at all," said chaussures Louboutin , in a fax from her Milan office. "After so much sweetness, a little strength." Her ing was neat, androgynous greys, navys and pinstripes, spiced up with sassy little minis cut high enough to give away all a woman's secrets. Her shoes, of increasing influence and the source of long lineups at her shops, were neck-breaking stilettos following the three-inch velvet platforms of louboutin season before.

As with all chic people, it's Miuccia's cheerful disdain that drives the style engine. She told The Independent in London last year: "I have nobody in mind when I design, only what I like and what I think is right, and very often it happens that a lot of women think the same. I never think of whether it will sell." And in the same season she told Women's Wear Daily: "My fashion comes from inside me, it's an intuitive thing. I have to wait to see what I get tired of and what I want to put on next, but sometimes you really feel like they're biting at your heels."
