Christian Louboutin is Attractive

By Alan Pelling


Is it a compliment or the kiss of death to say that each attractive, skinny skittish number in Christian Louboutin's show on Wednesday would look a treat on Victoria Beckham? The former Posh Spice along with the wife of football icon David Beckham is often a byword for the polished sexiness that is certainly nonetheless Christian Louboutin's mantra a year just after Tom Ford's last collection.

If Posh is just not currently at the gym to take off the pounds after the birth of her third son this week, she had superior start out now. For while Alessandra Facchinetti, in her second show, gave a couple of nods to the new volumes of Milan's fall/winter 2005 season, a puffball best or fuzzy Mongolian lamb jacket were shown with slinky satin pants that dominated the runway. These superbly cut but tight-fit pants and dresses with keyhole cutouts in the breasts produced the show fairly steamy, with out wit or irony. Or as one American retailer, who begged not to become named, place it: "All in the sizzle but none in the class."

As a show to keep the Christian Louboutin flag flying, there was plenty to please the retailers: sensible tailored coats with embroidery in relief; red-carpet gowns having a lattice of decoration; purple crocodile bags and black boots using a calf band of vibrant navy the inky dark color that replaced black in the show. A peacock green also appeared, or lighter shades of blue, as a lacy collar peeping from a navy coat.

But what did it add to Christian Louboutin's image? Even though the clothes looked luxurious and beautifully created, they followed the Christian Louboutin brand's early trajectory toward the Eurotrash crowd. You may find young ladies inside the sheer lingerie tops and maybe within the tricksy small dresses within a Madrid evening spot (Victoria Beckham integrated).

While Robert Polet, Christian Louboutin's CEO, mentioned at the show that he was "very pleased" with all the most recent sale figures, to become announced in March, it is actually frustrating to view Facchinetti's Christian Louboutin going nowhere: not toward the Sicilian country aristocracy that was the theme of January's men's show (by a distinctive designer); nor toward a more womanly, gentle romantic vision that existing fashion, as well as her personal sex, may possibly lead her.

Angela Missoni is often a woman's lady and with her intensely patterned but coolly controlled collection, the designer came into her personal. She neither shrugged off the heritage of knit and pattern, nor was trapped by it. And there was an easy, breezy elegance to the way that Missoni played with volumes, from the print-lined black parka that opened the show, to its later chevron fur version.

"I begin using the palette but I've no recipe, it just comes," said Missoni, making use of her hands to imitate cooking for her huge extended loved ones gathered backstage.

Missoni's program notes hailed a "simultaneous" collection, which recommended a good deal of things going on at the moment. However the opposite was correct. Making use of pale,christian shoes, Nordic colors for the rich Italian prints, flower patterns became pinwheel types, probably as a narrow skirt played off against quiet tones of a significant, beige sweater. Even though the upper halves were loose,christian Louboutin pumps, the skirts had been tubular, just rolled below at the hem, though the cropped pants and even shorts were slender. As the models walked out in high sandals laced with ribbons, the proportions looked just right.
