Inclusive Footwear Collections

The New Louboutin Range Features an Extended Nude Palette

— April 5, 2016 — Fashion
Luxury footwear designer Christian Louboutin recently expanded his nude palette to include two new shades. While the designer began championing a new definition of nude back in 2015, Louboutin has gone even further to now offer seven different nude hues.

Louboutin originally decided to expand the nude palette for his footwear line after a colleague explained that beige only matches the skin tone of a small portion of people. As a result, the designer sought out to create a spectrum for nude shades rather than a single hue. With the addition of the two new shades this spring, The Nudes Collection by Louboutin includes colors that range from 'Porcelain' to 'Deep Chocolate.'

Following the approach of companies such as Nubian Skin, the new Louboutin collection demonstrates a growing movement towards more inclusive fashion designs.
Trend Themes
1. Expanded Nude Palettes - The trend of creating diverse and inclusive footwear collections with expanded nude palettes presents an opportunity for designers to cater to a wider range of skin tones.
2. Inclusive Fashion Designs - The rise of inclusive fashion designs, exemplified by the new Louboutin collection, provides an avenue for brands to tap into a more diverse customer base and promote inclusivity in the industry.
3. Shifting Beauty Standards - The shift towards recognizing diverse beauty standards, as seen in the inclusion of multiple nude shades in footwear collections, opens up opportunities for brands to challenge traditional notions of beauty and embrace inclusivity.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Footwear - The luxury footwear industry has the potential to benefit from offering diverse and inclusive collections, leveraging expanded nude palettes to tap into a broader customer base and cater to individual preferences.
2. Fashion Design - The fashion design industry can seize the disruptive innovation opportunity by embracing inclusive fashion designs and incorporating expanded nude palettes, ensuring that all consumers feel represented and included in their collections.
3. Beauty and Cosmetics - The beauty and cosmetics industry can capitalize on the trend of shifting beauty standards by developing products that cater to diverse skin tones, emphasizing inclusivity and challenging the traditional limitations on what is considered 'nude' or 'natural'.
