Seeing Red: Christian's Directorial Debut

Doing a film is pretty much the it-thing to do in the fashion world right now. We blame Karl Lagerfeld and his stabs at short film last year. But if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have Tom Ford' delicious little "A Single Man" and this 8-minute short from our man Louboutin. Called "Psycho-Logic," it's as much a tribute to Hitchcock as it is a celebration of the opening of Christian's Rodeo Drive boutique in Beverly Hills.

For the record, we love how the shadow of the shoe heel mimics the knife in "Psycho," but a woman wouldn't ever be that afraid of a shoe. Rather quite the opposite. Enjoy the appearance of some fetish heels, a preview of the store interior, and cameo by the haute cobbler himself.

Christian on Madison Ave, NYC

Doesn't look like much, does it? Christian Louboutin's flagship at 965 Madison Avenue is a cuddly nook down a few steps from the street and completely unassuming compared to its attention-whore neighbor, The Whitney Museum of Art. 

Inside, the shoes are displayed as in his other locations: set into clear plexi cubby holes with extra little accessories for interest (flowers or jewels, for example). When we snapped this pic last week, the shoe below was the star of the window. But you know in an economy like this one, retail price never lasts long and now the same shoes (in grey and black) can be found on sale at Saks. Sigh. 

Christian Louboutin is All Over the Palazzo Las Vegas

These snaps were taken on a recent trip to the Palazzo Las Vegas which boasts a three-story Barneys New York department store in addition to a stand-alone CL boutique. Can you say heaven?

Actually, Vegas is a genius place to have Christian Louboutins for sale. Because if you do get lucky at the tables (or in our case the slots) you can totally spend your earnings on a pair of red-soled shoes. Forget the suite upgrades or the spa treatments! I want some CLs!
