We're planning on wearing flats on Fashion's Night Out. How else could we get from Saks Fifth Avenue (JT alert!) to Vena Cava's block party in Williamsburg and back to the Meatpacking District without developing some Big Apple-sized blisters? Speaking of hoofing it, Christian Louboutin will be offering Champagne foot baths and pedicures at his Madison Avenue shop. No, the shoe maestro himself won't be in town; he's busy putting the finishing touches on his new Rodeo Drive boutique.
Louboutin directed a short film in honor of his new Beverly Hills home, and he offered Style.com an exclusive sneak peek. Psychologic owes a big debt to the Alfred Hitchcock classic, if only Janet Leigh had been lucky enough to land in Louboutin nirvana after she met her grisly end.
Well, I think there are a couple of layers. First off, shoes are an intimate extension of the physical body. And they seem to say a lot about our personality, our sexual attitudes, and our social status. And high heels in particular seem to be the focus of a lot of our thoughts about gender, sexuality, eroticism, and femininity. I think there's definitely an element of sexual fetishism involved in men's fascination with women's high-heel shoes. But for women, I think it's not fetishism so much as it is an obsession with fashion and with shoes as the ultimate sartorial symbol of erotic femininity.

Even the packaging around the Christian Louboutin Barbie Shoes is exciting. Each pair of shoes comes in a tiny little box and includes a shoe bag for each pair.
No self-respecting owner would want to hide these out of sight, so these nine pairs of fabulous shoes come with a 13-inches tall x 10-inches wide x 3-inches long display box. Best of all, this entire collection can be purchased for less than $60! I wish I could find nine pairs of stunning Louboutin shoes for that price, for my big old human feet! At that price, this collection is an ideal gift for the Barbie enthusiast's special occasion.
I think the key element there is the acceptance of hypersexual shoe design as part of fashion, as opposed to just a corner of the pornographic industry. Before he died, Helmut Newton said in an interview that in the seventies, you had to go to fetish and porn stores to get the kind of shoes he wanted for his fashion photographs. But by the early nineties, he could go to any high fashion designer-Chanel, Dior, they were all doing fetish-y shoes. So that's one thing, which I think is crucial to the recent growth of heels. Another is the popularity of platforms on shoes. If you've got a two-inch platform, automatically your heel can go from three to five inches, or from four to six, or whatever you want.
If you want to wear a bright pink pair of Christian Louboutin Barbie shoes to match your doll, bingo, this crazy designer has even made a matching pair for your feet!
Part of it is that shoe shopping is probably the highest form of fashion shopping. It's the most pleasurable. I mean, who doesn't look good in a pair of beautiful shoes? And compare it with something like bathing-suit shopping, which is the nadir of horror. Also, you can get a lot more fashion bang for your buck with a pair of shoes. You know, it might be a thousand dollars, but if you're going to buy a jacket or a dress by that same or a comparable designer, you'd be talking three, four thousand dollars or up. And right now, people are, in a way, dressing in more of a uniform. For instance, many people just wear a well-cut pair of jeans and a great black jacket. But with shoes, they can play and transform themselves-they can change the style image that they're creating.
