The Design Museum today announced new dates for the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the museum: 1 May - 8 July 2012.
Tickets to the exhibition are now available to purchase in advance from Ticketweb.
The major retrospective exhibition is the centrepiece of the celebrations for the company's 20th anniversary. Drawing from Christian Louboutin’s personal archive, the exhibition presents his celebrated shoe designs, referencing the origins of the iconic red sole, through to the latest Louboutin collections including a range for men and desirable handbags.
Louboutin’s exquisite shoes, with their instantly recognisable glossy red soles, are a unique fusion of fashion, craftsmanship, engineering and sculpture.
This exhibition celebrates Louboutin’s career to date and showcases twenty years of designs and inspiration, revealing the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers and bejewelled pumps.
Louboutin’s shoes are the epitome of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance.
