Christian Louboutin’s Fairytale Beginning: As Told by Net-a-Porter
Edited by Lester Brathwaite
Somehow this got lost to us amongst the shuffle and kerfuffle of the holiday season, but Net-a-Porter opened up its storybook of Grimm’s Fashion Fairytales to tell the story of Christian Louboutin, in celebration of the master cobbler’s 20th anniversary. Making animated guest appearances in this tongue-in-cheek account of Louboutin’s rise to prominence are Helmut Lang, Grace Jones, Yves Saint Laurent and his muse Loulou de la Falaise, Princess Caroline of Monaco and socialite Hélène de Mortemart as the requisite fairy godmother. Snuggle up under the covers, kids, it’s sartorial storytime!
