Christian Louboutin Exhibit on Now at Design Exchange!

Christian Louboutin is a high fashion designer from France and you'd probably recognize his shoes by their signature red-lacquered soles.  From now until September 15th, Design Exchange in Toronto is holding a special exhibition in conjunction with The Design Museum London that celebrates the iconic designer's career that has pushed the boundaries of fashion and shoe design.

The exhibit reveals the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin's shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers, and bejeweled pumps.  Don't miss out on this great opportunity to experience high fashion on a whole new level!
