“Heels offer a gesture to the leg, and nail colour adds a gesture to the hand,” says Christian Louboutin. Christian Louboutin opened his first boutique exclusively for cosmetics in Paris. Beauty boutique is located in historic and significant 19th century Parisian galerie – Passage Vero-Dodat. It is in the same time, brand’s 100th boutique worldwide. The store, which Louboutin describes as a “small shop or a big shrine, but completely dedicated to beauty,” has been designed in collaboration with the renowned interior architect Pierre Yovanovitch.
The main focus of the beauty boutique is Louboutin’s iconic faceted nail color bottle. A matte silky white walls, a Hainaut blue stone floor, walls inspired by the texture of red Wedgwood china and an opening in the ceiling to the next floor, reminiscent of the bottles cap. There is a small staircase marked by an arched copper handrail that ascends to a boudoir style loft that will allow a space for in-store beauty treatments: “Upstairs will be a discreet, private space for clients to try out the Louboutin beauty ritual,” noted Yovanovitch.
