Nudes collection

For Christian Louboutin, the nude shade is plural, evoking the softness and lightness of skin in all its complexions. It's from this vision that the first Nudes collection was born in 2013: shoes designed to perfectly blend into the skin, extending the line of the leg to the toes and subtly elongating the silhouette. Like an illusion, the Nudes shoe melts into the skin, erasing the boundary between body and object to let the silhouette speak for itself.

Ballet as inspiration

For Christian Louboutin, ballet has always been a source of inspiration. In 1998, he created the Ballet Plate for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring-Summer Haute Couture show, followed in 2007 by the Ballerina Ultima, imagined in collaboration with David Lynch. A demanding, poetic, and codified physical language that the Maison continues to reinterpret today through an inclusive, feminine, and bold lens—transforming ballet into a powerful mode of expression.
