Christian Louboutin, showing not a care in the world about the credit crunch, designed a capsule collection of yellow, pink and blue silk shoes inspired by Marie Antoinette. The collection is limited to approximately 36 pairs, each priced at $6,295.

How appropriate that they’re inspired by Marie Antoinnette. :) Let them buy shoes!
People like Posh Spice (David Beckham’s wife) will buythem or be given
a pair to wear. Or if they are considered a collectible (like a Dusenberg)
and won’t be worn, someone will buy them.
Hey if you have the cash and you like the shoes... why not?
I like Christian Louboutin’s Shoes, but the pairs displayed are off. He does have a pair displayed in the April Issue of Glamour Magazine, page 214: high heeled slingbacks in black with a small bowtie in the front of the shoes. Paired with the classy balck dress by Giambatista Valli, classy elegance. If I had a million dollars or won the lottery, I would afford myself the shoes and dress./Just Asking - seoul62......
Well said. People should be able to do what they like with their money.
Hmm: if Obama were to spend 3.27 Trillion dollars on buying these ludicrous shoes for everyone in America it would do WAY less damage to the country than what’s actually going to happen.
I could do better with flip flops, glitter, elmers glue and doghair.

Then do it! And let us know when you get your $6, 000 for them—LOL!
Nah, I’m going to the gun show today. That’s more important. (Actually just want to see how crazy it is, I’m set.)
That’s a far better use of your time—unless you need the $6,000 to buy some new toys!!!

I wouldn’t pay $62.95 for shoes. For those shoes, I wouldn’t pay $5 at Goodwill.
I wouldn’t. At least not for those shoes. In the first place, I don’t have the money right now. In the second place, I’m guessing M. Louboutin doesn’t normally make those babies in mens’ size 11. In the third place, even if he did, I’d look pretty odd in them. Trust me on this.
Be prepared to see the yellow pair on our Fuhrers’ Michelle any day now. I wonder if they come in 12EE?
Lovely—get two and send one to me!
If I hit the lottery.
Does Louboutin design for cloven hooves?
Tacky, kitschy, ugly. And uncomfortable-looking, to boot.
