Christian Louboutin ‘Les Nudes’

Luxury footwear label Christian Louboutin has created a collection of leg-lengthening shoes called 'Les Nudes' featuring five nude shades to cater to a variety of skin tones. Addressing the issue of matching shoes to skin tones, the new range features five ‘nude’ hues ranging from fair blush to rich chestnut.

To help customers decide which shade is right for them, the French shoe maker has created a free iPhone app, Louboutin Shades, which allows the user to take a photograph of their foot and match a shade of nude to their skin tone.

"The shoes are there to give women an extra lift, not to take attention away from the legs and what she is wearing," said Louboutin of his new flesh-toned shoes. "They disappear like magic and become a fluid extension of her legs, as in a sketch, elongating the silhouette.”

The ‘nude’ hues will be available in the point toe Pigalle, the Fifi and Simple Pump, as well as the Flo and the brand’s signature Vendome peep-toe with hidden platform, and will be exclusive to Christian Louboutin boutiques.
