We reported a few weeks ago that Christian Louboutin designed shoes and helped create “tableaux” for the famous Parisian cabaret, Crazy Horse. The show officially opens in Paris on March 5, but the NYT got in for a sneak peek, and what an eyeful they got.
A picture of a grinning Christian Louboutin in a top hat poised over two reclining naked girls doesn’t seem like such a stretch of the imagination. And it isn’t. It’s the promotional photo touting the collaboration between the famed purveyor of red-soled fuck-me heels and famed purveyor of burlesque in Paris, Crazy Horse.
In a release on the cabaret’s website, we learned that Louboutin didn’t just design the shoes (he’s being billed as a “Guest Creator”)–he directed a series of “tableaux, inspired by many eclectic worlds from hip hop to art masterpieces, which constitute a personal look at femininity in all its forms.” What exactly does that mean? Well, both David Lynch and Swizz Beatz composed orignal music for the show.
