Leave it to the one and only Christian Louboutin to one-up the drama at Paris Couture Week. Last night the designer previewed not one but two new collections at Manège Battisti in La Caserne des Célestins, in Paris’s 4th arrondissement. Rowan Blanchard, Ellie Bamber, Heidi Klum, Mandy Moore, and HRH Princess Mafalda Cecilia of Bulgaria were among those who joined the designer himself at the fortress that serves as the headquarters for the French Republican Guard.
In addition to unveiling his Spring-Summer 2020 collection, Louboutin used the occasion to present his Loubhoutan (a name that cheekily nods to the French label’s proper pronunciation) capsule collection, the product of a six-year-long collaboration between the designer and students of the School of Thirteen Arts and Crafts in Thimphu, Bhutan.
Guests fêted the collections with Louboutin, taking turns to snap photos in the picturesque surroundings lavished with decor in the designer’s signature scarlet hue.
