men red bottom shoesHigh-end shoe maker Christian Louboutin has launched heels in five new shades of nude ranging from "fair blush to rich chestnut, " according to the brand.men red bottom shoesThe famous French cobbler, best known for his red-soled stilettos, outfitted five shoe styles in the new colors, called "Les Nudes, " for his fall collection, The Washington Post reported.Nude shoes are meant to blend into the wearer "as a fluid extension of her legs, " the designer explained in a news release.But for ages in the fashion industry, the color nude has been synonymous with beige or pale peach, even going so far as to be called "flesh-toned, " as long as that flesh was white.men red bottom shoesLouboutin's decision to add a spectrum of nudes to his famous red-soled shoes comes on the heels of a dustup at last month's New York Fashion Week, when Naomi Campbell and others released the names of designers whose runways lacked diverse models.While tan and chestnut heels have been on the market for a while from Jimmy Choo and Steve Madden, many women sought them out only as "close enough" to the skin-matching shoe trend.men red bottom shoes Not only does Louboutin's new line have five distinct shades, it also launched a "Louboutin Shades" app to help women decide which color best matches her skin tone.“I think a lot of brands think if they cater to a woman of color, they’ll lose their core market, " African American fashion blogger Claire Sulmers told The Washington Post. "Some people are calling it a marketing ploy, but it’s a very smart one. "
men red bottom shoesNot if Christian Louboutin has anything to do with it. In fact, the shoe guru is so keen on all his customers enjoying the benefits of flesh-toned shoes, he's created "The Nude Collection, " a line of classic styles available in diverse range of skin shades. There are five different options to chose from—creamy porcleain, mahogany brown and three middle tones between—and an accompanying "Louboutin Shades" app that finds the best shade for you by matching it to an uploaded photo of your foot. men red bottom shoesIt's especially worth downloading if there isn't a Christian Louboutin boutique in your area. Since the Nude Collection is only available in the brand's brick-and-mortar stores, knowing your color beforehand will make phone orders fast and easy.

men red bottom shoesIn fashion, "nude" can be used to describe the colour of anything from Kate Middleton's favourite pumps to a blouse or a shade of nail polish. The colour in question is a sort of beige, biscuity shade, roughly similar to the colour of Caucasian skin. It is praised for its flattering qualities and, when it comes to shoes, its leg-lengthening powers.People with skin of any other colour – and, therefore, women from ethnic minorities – are implicitly unable to participate in this trend.men red bottom shoes If a pair of "nude" pumps blends with the colour of a white woman's skin, the same pair will contrast against black skin. As with plasters, children's dolls and – still – foundation, white skin remains the default option.Christian Louboutin – more associated with red soles and the highest of heels than race relations – is making attempts to change that. His Nudes collection is designed to match a range of skin tones – from the familiar traditional "nude" to a rich dark brown, with five different styles available. The campaign images show off the idea with lots of legs of various races, and an app even matches the shade of your own skin to the shoes for you.Smaller brands may have dipped a toe in this debate, but for one of the biggest names in footwear to jump in is to be applauded.men red bottom shoes It's a no-brainer, though – commercially as much as anything else. Whatever you think about the style, it's smart to offer the leg-lengthening trick to many more of the female population – you'll sell more shoes. With prices around the £400-and-up mark, Louboutin's collection isn't, of course, going to make an impact on the vast majority, but the ripples sent to the high street no doubt will. In the meantime, "nude" remains a word that should be used with caution.
