La Maison Christian Louboutin presented an enchanting evening of fun, dance, and music at Le Trianon, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Pigalle district, a vibrant locale with personal significance to the designer who once resided there and cultivated his craft amidst this legendary area.
This season, Christian Louboutin extended a ‘carte blanche’ to Leo Walk, a youthful and talented French Choreographer and artistic director who seamlessly blends nuanced contemporary dance with the dynamic essence of street hip-hop movement. Walk presented a deeply personal and intimate interpretation of friendship on stage, weaving together diverse narratives of connection and camaraderie with sensitivity and finesse. The performance embodied a dance narrative that highlighted moments of joy, hope and deep appreciation for life, emphasizing the beauty found in embracing life’s uncertainties.
The Loubi Show featured twelve dancers from ‘La Marche Bleue’, a dance company founded by Leo Walk, alongside two accomplished musicians in a spellbinding spectacle. Each performer took center stage adorned in Christian Louboutin crystal embellished MJ Moc Loafers from the latest collection as well as the revamped Miss Sabina sandal.
French American visual artist Jan Melka meticulously crafted the show’s scenography, drawing inspiration from bodies and volumes. Melka introduced a three-dimensional aspect to the stage playing with materials through innovative techniques. Enhancing the sensory experience is the ethereal music of Parisian-based duo Clara Cappagli and Armand Bultheel of the group Agar Agar who infused the stage with emotion and energy through their blend of French pop with electro notes.
Amidst the celebration, Christian Louboutin unveiled his Women Fall/Winter 2024 collection in a dashing peristyle. Within this breathtaking setting, exquisite designs were showcased seemingly levitating in red niches nestled inside a chrome mirrored box that created an infinite reflection of the space.
