high heels are pleasure with pain.

What girl doesn't love a good pair of heels? Shoes are like art, especially some of the incredible designs from famed French designer, Christian Louboutin. When an exhibit of some of his most outrageous designs came to the Design Exchange in Toronto, I simply had to go! Since my mom is a fashion lover herself, we went to check out the exhibit together.

It was an incredible exhibit to take in. And of course, there were tons of amazing shoes to look at. They were creative, unique, interesting, dynamic - and nearly impossible to wear! The overall look of the exhibit was wonderful. However, there were some disappointing aspects to it as well. First, the price. It was $20 per admission ticket for an exhibit that took less than 20 minutes to walk through. It was way, way overpriced. Also disappointing was the lack of biographical information on Christian Louboutin. While I respect that the shoes were the focus, it would have been nice to get a closer look at the man behind the designs....what inspired them and how he got his start. Despite these disappointing elements, it was amazing to see some of his designs up close and personal!

I took a ton of pictures - over a hundred, in fact! I was in shoe heaven. But, since I'm sure you have better things to do than look at a hundred pictures of red-soled shoes, I picked out a couple of my absolute favourites. 

 

And my all-time favourite pair is....

Can you believe those bad boys? I absolutely loved how creative and bold the design was. Stunning and totally unforgettable! 

Do you love Christian Louboutin shoes? What do you think of the exhibit?
