At the opening of LouboutinWorld’s exhibition in Paris, guests including Janelle Monáe, Dita Von Teese, and Diane von Furstenberg were rewarded with a jaw-dropping, 11-room extravaganza..
Judging by reactions, even die-hard Louboutin lovers who know their Pigalles from their Miss Clichys and So Kates—and those who actually know the fun-loving father of the covetable red soles—were quite simply blown away by the 11-room extravaganza. It was, as the designer said, a project two years in the making, crystallized with the help of Olivier Gabet, the head curator at the Museum of Decorative Arts .
Louboutin called the project a homecoming of sorts. “It’s a big mix of my work as well as what inspired it,” he said. “We just finished it yesterday.” In the mix are a love of Paris, of spectacle, of innovation, craftsmanship, and travel, from an early stint as a documentarian for Roger Vivier to a brief interlude as a landscape architect. “In the end, I realized that I didn’t have the patience to wait for a seedling to grow five meters high,” he toldLandscaping’s loss was fashion’s gain.
But the part of the show that made Louboutin laugh the most was the installation of a hologram performance by Dita Von Teese: Every time the technicians ran a test, 10 workers would stop and watch, slack-jawed. “Everyone stopped working and just stood there,” he said. “We had to stop running tests on Dita, because every time we had to adjust something, everyone would stop working.” The one right after it, with the Guinean freestyle street artist Iya Traoré, is a showstopper too.
Aside from a closet full of Louboutins, the ultimate luxury would be to have the entire exhibition to oneself. Once it opens to the public tomorrow, that’s going to be a pipe dream too.Diane von Furstenberg and Alber Elbaz
