The [Christian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule) Louboutin X-Ray Windows give viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of fashion and beauty.

Hospital machines were acquired by Louboutin and set up in a [London store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikos-koulis) with the help of StudioXAG to preview the Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. Slim mannequin legs with bodacious heels peeked out from a blue outlined X-Ray screen that flashed images of skeletons adorned with tasseled purses and rocking [spiked jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) by Michael Van De Ham and Holly Fulton.

The London location was privileged enough to get the full view of the anatomically revealing clothing collection display. Other Christian Louboutin X-Ray Windows among the United States, Asia and other European stores are much smaller and may depict only a shoe or a handbag.
