It's the mystique of the western universe that guides Christian Louboutin's proposals for the cold season. With sky-high boots and accessories straight out of the Wild West, these pieces gallop to the rhythm of the trend, leaving no room for enigmas; just the footprints of an iconic red sole. The autumn/winter novelties are joined by the Our Angels capsule collection inspired by Christian Louboutin's fascination with these creatures that hover somewhere between human and celestial. In this third iteration of the collection, the angels appear in their most rebellious version ever and the boots, as usual, are irresistible.

With its haute couture sensibility, the French fashion house excels in its eternal contemporary sophistication. This time, for autumn/winter 2024, Christian Louboutin invites us to discover the new proposals inspired by the legacy of Texan culture and its intricately worked textiles.

In a mixture of the house's unmistakable savoir-faire and the galloping western spirit, the Santia boots are presented in three different styles: Santiabooty and Santia Botta, made in washed and textured denim - so no two pairs are identical - and Santigag Strass, which, with its meticulous crystal embroidery, stands out for its subtly glamorous design. The limited editions in black and taupe, hand-embroidered with metallic thread, glass beads and three-dimensional crystals, mirror Christian Louboutin's craftsmanship and take up to 220 hours to make.

In addition, the Loubi54 shoulder bag, already an icon of the maison, is now reimagined in three new colourways, each enhanced with contrasting textures of leather and metallic studs. For a versatile look, a mini version is also introduced with a leather pattern and a chain strap, designed to be worn on the shoulder or as a crossbody bag.

In this Wild West fantasy, no-one is left behind. With a focus on inclusion and diversity, the third edition of the Our Angels capsule collection presents a wide selection of unisex boots ranging from size 36 to 46. Inspired by the ethereal and genderless aura of angelic figures, the new collection is a testament to both the inclusive philosophy and the master craftsmanship inherent to the French maison.

In a style that echoes authentic Texan sensibility, two models are launched in three different colours, Kennywood and Kennywood Alta. On both models, the 7.5 cm heel stands out with a characteristic element of the brand: the spike. As for the buckle, it bears the signature of the maison's creator. With a collection that eternalises the brand's spirit, it's never been easier to unleash the cowboy in us.
