Designer Launches Range Of Shoes To Match Your Skintone

We're not sure if this trend will take off

Shoe guru Christian Louboutin has created a range of shoes designed to blend in with your natural skin tone.

Five of the customary styles have been given a makeover, including the point toe Pigalle, the curvier Fifi and Simple Pump, as well as the Flo and the signature hidden platform of the Vendome peep toe pump.

There will be five shades in the collection, ranging from fair blush to chestnut.

The aim is to allow women to buy shoes that will match their skin tone, rather than settle for a standard nude colour.

The shoes will be available in five shades

Loboutin explains “The shoes are there to give the woman an extra lift, not to take attention away from the legs and what she is wearing. They disappear like magic and become a fluid extension of her legs, as in a sketch, elongating the silhouette.”

Considering the famous red-soled Louboutins are ridiculously expensive, costing at least €600 and prices can go much higher depending on your style, we’re not too sure if this particular trend will take off.
