"...In the world of fashion, where imagination reigns supreme, Christian Louboutin continually redefines the runway experience with his latest spring/summer 2025 presentation. The brand transformed this iconic pool into a mesmerising stage where fashion and art of dancing blended in an enchanting performance, set against the remarkable backdrop of Paris's historic Piscine Molitor..."
In a remarkable collaboration with visionary artistic director David LaChapelle and renowned choreographer Blanca Li, Louboutin's showcase redefined the traditional fashion presentation, transforming it into a mesmerising multi-sensory experience. Celebrating movement, colour, and the artistry of luxury, the event drew inspiration from the enchanting water ballets of 1950s Hollywood. Fashion, dance, and sport seamlessly intertwined in a fluid display of creativity, immersing the audience in a nostalgic yet vivid dreamscape where elegance met imagination in perfect harmony.
As LaChapelle's cinematic projections bathed the pool in vibrant bursts of colour, the setting transformed into a spellbinding stage. Cascading fountains in the pool’s centre added to the enchantment, while a giant pair of Christian Louboutin heels slid gracefully into the water, amplifying the drama of the moment. The captivating opening reached its peak when swimmers from the French Olympic artistic swimming team descended from an elevated pair of heels, stepping into the pool with effortless grace. Adorned in Louboutin’s shimmering metallic Miss Z pumps, their synchronised movements perfectly mirrored the enchanting live vocals of singer-songwriter LP, creating a seamless fusion of elegance, art, and spectacle.
Just when attendees thought the spectacle had reached its peak, LaChapelle himself plunged into the pool, followed by Blanca Li, both joining in the playful exuberance. Adding to the thrill, Christian Louboutin, the star of the show, effortlessly embraced the moment, sliding down the giant mule with a carefree elegance. This playful, unexpected finale elevated the entire event to an unforgettable climax, leaving the audience in awe of the vibrant, joyous spirit that defined the show.
The elegant Miss Z pump, embodying a blend of contemporary and timeless charm, captured attention at the grand showcase. This modern interpretation features an elegant silhouette that combines increased volume at the front with a softly padded insole. The shoe features Louboutin's iconic red sole and a practical heel that provides elevation while ensuring comfort. Miss Z, crafted from innovative materials and technologies, will be celebrated for the modern design, flawlessly embodying Christian Louboutin's elegance and modern simplicity.
During this captivating event, renowned Thai actress Pat-Chayanit joined in and donned a sophisticated cowboy look, paired with SANTIA BOOTY boots made of Toile Denim cotton material. She completed the look with a Loubi54 Giddy Crossbody calfskin purse in white and a rodeo from Christian Louboutin, joining a host of global celebrities, including Olympic swimmer Tom Daley, South Korean singer Seungkwan, Halle Bailey, and many others.
“Something the three of us clearly have in common is our love for dance. Blanca made it her world, David some of his major art works, and me, I also started by designing shoes for dancers.”
