Christian Louboutin knows how to put artistry into his footwear creations. In his recent Fall/Winter 2009/2010 ad campaign, Louboutin makes decadent shoes encapsulated in high art imagery.
His unique still-life shots display his shoes as the muse of the camera, showing shoes surrounded by wine, skulls and candy. Of course, accents of red highlight the collection to call attention to the Louboutin signature red sole. How luxurious!
