Fashion Or Freak: Louboutin ‘Alex’ Pumps

CHRISTIAN Louboutin has made a name for himself by doing things a little differently when it comes to shoes. He wants to catch our attention whether it’s for the slut red soles or, most recently, his animal instinct shoe inspirations.

The ‘Alex’ pump pictured is part of the a/w 2011 collection and it’s as much a work of art as it is a shoe. Actress, Sarah Jessica Parker was naturally the first to test the water in these stiletto heeled paws at the I Don't Know How She Does It Moscow premiere this summer. More recently, Blake Lively was spotted running errands in them. As you do.

Fiercely fashionable or just plain old freaky, at least this is one high flying fashion designer who isn’t afraid to give a cheeky nod to novelty slippers, just in time for Christmas.

Those of you desperate to get your paws on a pair, will have to wait as the shoes haven’t yet been priced. Until then, Harvey Nichols stock a great range of Louboutins, so keep checking there.
