The leg is no longer wearing a shoe: it simply dissolves into a shoe and that’s what gives its radiance.” The collection comprises stilettos adorned with a bow, pumps embellished with silver crystals, plus thick rubber sole slides and low top sneakers. The is also a complementary range of bags and accessories including the LoubiLab bag and its signature studs and contrasting Louboutin red body strap. To accompany the launch is an editorial campaign directed by Mytheresa global creative director Julian Paul and shot by Patrick Houi. It features models Ronja Furrer, Nur Hellmann and Carl Schultz.
