Christian Louboutin is joining forces with Vogue's Bella Freud to design a capsule collection for autumn/winter 2011.Inspired by the idea of fetishism, the footwear mega-designer has created a series of shoe drawings that will be incorporated onto knitted dresses and jumpers.
"Christian and I have been friends for 20 years now and he is godfather to my son Jimmy," Freud tells us. "I have often admired his drawings and I wanted to use some to put on my knitwear. I love the way a drawing comes to life when it is reinterpreted in another medium. On a knit it you get the sense of someone having actually drawn it, rather than it being a computer generated image."
The collection will be fashioned from 100% fine merino cashwool, in a colour palette of black and green - with hints of Lurex glitter.
The line will be available in stores from mid-July.
