womens pumpsThey are the shoes of choice for A-Listers and fashionistas. French designer Christian Louboutin and his unmistakable red-soled footwear became famous on “Sex and the City. ”Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Carla Bruni have been spotted wearing the signature red-bottom shoes. The designer opened his first store in Paris when he was 19. He now has 80 shops worldwide.When asked on “CBS This Morning, ” Louboutin told the co-hosts that red “has to” be his favorite color now.womens pumps He chose the striking hue to be the color of the soles of his shoes for a very specific reason.“When I started the red sole, it was in the early ’90s, and I realized … when I had my first daughter there was a lot of women who were only dressed in black, who would not wear colors, but even if you don’t like colors, red you have, ” he said. “You have the elements on your nails. You have the elements on your lips.womens pumps Even if you don’t wear colors, you end up having red someplace. ”Louboutin said that a shoe should make a woman “look good, ” but he said the “mystery” of a heel is that it “totally transforms” the body language of the woman.“It’s a very important thing. It’s just on the feet, but it irradiates the whole body, ” he said.
womens pumpsSmaller 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. 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.womens pumps 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.
womens pumpsWhile 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. 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.womens pumps "Some people are calling it a marketing ploy, but it’s a very smart one. "
womens pumpsIn 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.womens pumpsPeople with skin of any other colour – and, therefore, women from ethnic minorities – are implicitly unable to participate in this trend. 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.womens pumps 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.
