Christian Louboutin's Spring '09 RTW Shoes Are Like Wearable Sculptures

— February 28, 2009 — Fashion
If there was ever a shoe designer who could turn an innocent shoe lover into a shoe fetishist it has to be Christian Louboutin. The shoes to come out of this French design house, like the ones shown above from the Spring 2009 ready-to-wear collection, are so gorgeous I could die for them. Each is like a sculptural art piece.

I love the first image, which features the ‘Mary Jane’ high heels that feature a hidden platform and ruffle detail. No matter what you wear with these, you will feel like a rufflelicious princess.
