Haute Happy: Why Christian Louboutin Is Bringing Us So Much Life

The autumn/winter 2019 Festiloubi collection is a celebration of joy, optimism, and unbridled creativity

Continuing on from the theme of his extraordinary journeys, Christian Louboutin is taking us back to a retro childhood malaise. Festive, joyous, and downright peppy, this latest iteration of Fall-Winter 2019 is a sentimental tribute to the core values that Christian holds so close to his heart.

 Evoking the inner child in all of us, the collection of kaleidoscopic accessories is simply bursting with carefree colours and materials recalling the vitality of youth. Rainbow patterns meet vibrant colour-blocked styles conjuring up the thrill of amusement parks and fairgrounds.

With a focus on summer styles, espadrilles are a star attraction offering an elegant interpretation of the collection’s theme while grosgrain ankle ties and featherlight cork platforms combine to create styles that exemplify Christian’s constant pursuit of the perfect line.

Colour-pop, bubble heel sandals created with cutting edge technology communicate the concept of levity as a visual interpretation. Meanwhile, handbags and accessories get the feel-good treatment, with the Marie Jane bucket bag returning in a  hand-crafted rainbow patchwork assembled from the Maison’s iconic soles, and the reimagined Paloma tote with transparent PVC body and cheerfully bold colours.

The FW19 Festiloubi Collection by Christian Louboutin will be available worldwide on www.christianlouboutin.com and in Christian Louboutin boutiques from June 2019.
