On the heels of a successful nail polish launch in late 2014, famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin is brancing out even further with a new beauty boutique in Paris.
“Heels offer a gesture to the leg, and nail colour adds a gesture to the hand,” said Louboutin, in his studio, brandishing a bottle of Rouge Louboutin that he describes as “trapped in a piece of faceted crystal.”
That bottle is the central focus of Louboutin¹s first beauty shop, and fittingly it was the brand’s 100th, just unveiled in the 19th century Passage Vero-Dodat. It was important for the designer to house the new concept store in this beautiful Parisian galerie, as it is the home of both his first women’s and men’s flagship boutiques, opened in 1991 and 2011 respectively. Louboutin describes the thoroughly unique space as a “small shop or a big shrine, but completely dedicated to beauty.”
With the façade registered as a historical landmark, Louboutin collaborated with renowned interior architect Pierre Yovanovitch on the boutique’s intricate design.
This new space naturally completes the first women and men boutiques of the Galerie Véro-Dodat.
