Introducing Baby Jane: The Latest Shoe Creation by Christian Louboutin
When Christian Louboutin is mentioned, thoughts often turn to the iconic red sole and glamorous designs, yet the image of a ballerina with a petite rounded heel isn't typically the first that comes to mind. This season, the designer introduces her under the name Jane.
Inspired by Jane Birkin, the idol of the sixties with her wicker basket, her eph-patt jeans, her trench coat and her babies who transcended the style of the Parisienne, the Jane collection by Christian Louboutin is anything but wise. With its fuchsia and white colours on suede calfskin, black on patent leather, pink and gold on metallic leather and of course glitter, the desire to dance, cycle or simply walk in complete beauty, Is not far. And if the comfort of sneakers and the androgyny of moccasins have radically transformed our habits, “real” shoes are nonetheless making a comeback. Contrary to what one might imagine, the little heel has always figured in the pantheon of Louboutin models, since its creation in 1991 with the famous Love model, which became a best-seller in a flash and which made the subject of numerous reinterpretations over the following thirty years. For Christian Louboutin, “height is not the sine qua none condition of a beautiful structured heel”. He who likes to play with both bourgeois and punk codes has once again managed to catch our eye. Featuring two buckle straps and an almond toe, the Miss Jane shoes launched in spring-summer 2022 find their extension in the new Sweet Jane ballerinas, a modern version of the classic Mary Jane. For fans and collectors, you can even find exclusives online. In a flat version or with a 55 mm heel, each model is super feminine. With Christian Louboutin, twisted elegance is never far away.
