Last week, I made my way to Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills for what can only be described as the second coming of the Lord of shoes-Christian Louboutin in the flesh. Women lined up hours before the man arrived at the NM mother ship to celebrate his 20th anniversary, hoping to catch a glimpse of their savior, while purchasing his gorgeous designs and taking them to the altar of CL (a divine marble-topped desk) for him to personally sign. It was quite a sight!
When Christian walked into the room, the room erupted in loud cheers and clapping. Women were practically frothing at the mouth to become a part of the chosen few, showing off their newly signed heels and handbags for all to admire. And can you blame them? He is an unmistakable artist with endless talent. Who doesn’t love or want a pair of Loubs?
As I was about to leave the shoe feeding-frenzy, I glanced at the painted walls crafted by graffiti artist, Galo (see my interview with him below). All around, women (and some men) scrawled love letters, if you will, to the famed designer, thanking him for his revered designs, eye for style, and for making them happy. Confession-I even wrote one myself. Oh, the power of a great pair of shoes!
