Christian Louboutin Exhibition 20 years of Red soled shoes!

Does your heart skip a beat at the sight of a red soled shoe? Christian Louboutin is an inspirational designer of shoes that not only has a worldwide celebrity following, but has us all coveting after them.


Yet what really makes his shoes special is the RED SOLE. It is believed like all good designers Christian Louboutin knew there was something missing in his shoe designs..... and looking over at his assistance red nail polish sparked his most successful design decision. They say that good design comes from everyday living and that surely was the case for him.
As we flick through the pages of fashion magazines we see celebrities wearing beautiful shoes, but what we really NEED to see is if the sole is red. Yes the sight of a red sole indicates - I am wearing my Louboutins.



I wonder if Christian Louboutin had knowledge of the colour red, I am sure he did. His inspirations for his shoes come from the feminine figure and the influence of burlesque dancing. No other colour on the sole would mean fire, passion, desire, and love like red does.


Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage.



Christian has never marketed his brand. It hasn't been necessary - thanks to the red-lacquered soles which have made them instantly recognisable the world over.

To celebrate his 20 years of success his shoes are on exhibition from 1st may till the 9th July in London.

Bridal Hair Accessories and Jewellery for all hair styles

Back in July we decided that we would visit some of our stockists for one day only events similar to the Designer Days that bridal dress manufacturers do. The idea was that our designer Louise could be on hand to offer brides and bridesmaids advice on choosing the right accessories for their dress and hairstyle.
This wasn't a completely new idea that we had, as Louise hosted a similar styling event in March 2010 in Renfrewshire. That event saw, make-up artists, hairdressers, wedding dress designers and of our course all our accessories within the styling clinic.
This Designer Accessories Day was more intimate, in that brides could book a free appointment to get both their hair and make- up done. Louise was on hand throughout the day helping brides, bridesmaids and Mother's of the Bride choose wedding hair combs, bridal headbands, vintage jewellery and tiaras.
The unique aspect of the day came from Audrey Russell Photography who captured the brides before and after their make-over. She also offered valuable advise to the brides about posture and how to look your best in photographs.
Our event celebrated the launch of our new site www.lhgdesigns.co.uk a sister site to www.weddingandbaby.co.uk Still the same quality, affordable hair accessories and jewellery for weddings, proms and special occasions.

The event was held at Sixpenny Blue Studio in Symington, Kilmarnock Ayrshire.
