In one of the more imaginative collaborations we’ve seen of late, Christian Louboutin and David Lynch have locked heads and created a show, Fetish, which opens today in Paris in Pierre Passebon’s Galerie du Passage. The exhibition shows five limited edition pairs of shoes by Louboutin alongside five signed photographs of the shoes by Lynch. As if Louboutin’s day-to-day footwear weren’t fetishistic enough, the pair together has taken the theme to an entirely new level.

As with so many collaborations, things moved very quickly. The process began when Lynch commissioned Louboutin to make shoes for an exhibition he was hosting at the Cartier Foundation back in March this year. The pair quickly became friends and when Louboutin wanted to push the notion of extreme fetish in his work, by creating shoes and then playing with their creative representation in two-dimensional images, it was clear Lynch would be the man to translate his vision.

‘I tried to keep an element of my drawings, to be faithful to the drawings, with no practicality, just pleasure, thinking of extreme fetish shoes. Usually when you go to the third dimension you lose something,’ explains Louboutin of his initial concept, ‘then I wanted to photograph them - I find there’s more emotion with cinematic images. I wanted Lynch’s style and since we’d recently become friends it was natural for me to ask him.’

The designer has an atelier where the one-of-a-kind shoes are created. With practicality and comfort out the window, Louboutin has pushed the designs to their limits: think 26cms heels, spikes on the inside and sole of the shoe, and Siamese heels (two shoes fused at the heel).

The idea is that the shoe becomes a cult object, transcending the most beautiful part of the shoe and/or foot. Louboutin pinpoints ‘The Siamese shoe’ as his favourite, ‘For me the shoe and the picture together become very close to Twin Peaks.’

Aherm - what about fetish for men?

Are those barbed-wire stockings in post #4, in last image featuring a human figure? Oh my God, this is so misogynistic and subversive, and still easier to get out of my head than the amazing/traumatizing "Blue Velvet"...

I just saw that we had a thread on this!
It's so deliciously Bourdin... with a bit of crime scene photography thrown in. I feel like my world has been revolving (more) around David Lynch ever since I went to a lecture by him last month.

^You're so lucky! Did he say anything interesting? I wish I could go to the exhibition..... I love the images. They remind be of a ballerina on pointe.....she suffers for the beauty of her art.

The fabulous-ness of this is too much for me to comprehend.


Why has David Lynch become my new fashion icon as of late?
