A Piece of Art



This advertisement is from the Spring/Summer 2009 range but I think the campaign offered a much different take on most fashion campaigns. It is for Christian Louboutin footwear but is almost art rather than an advert. It highlights the designers excellent eye for detail and portrays his shoes as artwork, which arguably, is what they are! The different shoes are intertwined with intricate pieces of antique silverware and flowers. The 17th - 18th century inspired images shot by still life photographer Peter Lippmann give the Louboutin brand a Gothic feel and offer something different to the usual glamorous, glossy adverts. My personal favourite is the pink shoe positioned beautifully amongst the red flowers, emphasising the famous red sole of Louboutins phenomenal shoes. I will look forward to seeing future campaigns from the designer!
