Here's a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily

More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
Were picked in advance, by some careful hand
With an absolute concept of beauty.


Christian Louboutin's FW '09/10 campaign couldn't be more ingenious.  Shot by photographer Peter Lippman, they combine Louboutin's collection with fruit, flowers and fine tablewares, reminiscent of the classic still-life paintings of the 18th century.  What could possibly go wrong when you mix art with shoes?  Nothing!  These are stunning.

  4. you're absolutely right, this is sheer genius. i love the realist paintings, the artist truly did justice to the shoes, as well as the mood of the collection!

    btw, now that i think about it.. i don't actually remember seeing an actual CL ad campaign with a model and all.. have you?

    much love
