Ryzenberg On: Celebrating the Red Soles at Neiman Marcus

Christian Louboutin’s red soles have strutted its way to San Francisco and now you can own a piece of his iconic 20th anniversary capsule collection — Oh La La indeed! 

I, along with some of San Francisco’s most fashionable ladies, attended this invite-only preview of his legendary works of art at Neiman Marcus! (yes, to me, footwear is like art, and it this line actually made it on SFgate.com) 

The event featured light bites, bubbly and lots of drool worthy sandals, boots, booties, flats and heels. This capsule collection, which is only available at Neiman Marcus on Union Square in the Bay Area and select stores worldwide, features some of Louboutin’s most celebrated shoes such as the ‘plumette,’ with actual feathers, the ‘Love’ flats (which are his favorite all-time) and of course the fringe boots that pay homage to only leggy gal, Ms. Tina Turner, among other eye catching masterpieces.

It is amazing Christian Louboutin has only been around for 20 years. Through the years, this footwear maestro managed to give us some of the most innovative footwear we can remember. (oh yeah, not to mention the red soles, despite some legal run-ins)

When a woman walks, there is nothing sexier than seeing a classic pair of patent leather pumps (of course I am referring to the Rolando) with that little peek-a-boo of red in the bottom. It’s almost as if they transport you to the 1950s or 1960s when women’s fashions were ladylike, demure and offered a bit of a je ne sais quo feel!

We all admired the shoes and dreamt what it’d be like to actually own a piece of footwear history, until looking at the price tag and realizing that we had to pay rent the next week.

A girl can dream or in this case many girls are probably dreaming!
