The Design Museum is to host the first ever UK retrospective of iconic French shoe designer Christian Louboutin from 28th MARCH – 1 JULY 2012.

This exhibition will celebrate Louboutin’s career to date and will showcase twenty years of designs and inspiration, revealing the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers and bejewelled pumps. Louboutin’s shoes are the epitome of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance.

A dramatic exhibition environment will present Louboutin’s artistic personality and creative approach. It will examine the many sources of his creativity, shoes inspired by performance, cabaret and the showgirl; fantasy and fairy tale; art and architecture; film; landscape and travel. The exhibition will also focus on the handcrafted shoe, one-off designs which incorporate his highly innovative ideas, forms and materials. There will be a special section dedicated to the shoes designed for ‘Fetish’ an exhibition at the La Gallerie Du Passage, Paris in 2007, a unique collaboration of photography between Louboutin and acclaimed artist David Lynch.

At the core of the exhibition will be a unique exploration of Louboutin’s design process, taking the visitor through every stage of the design journey, revealing how a shoe is constructed, from the initial drawing and first prototype through to production in the factory. Looking beyond design and production the exhibition will also explore the company’s innovative store design in which Louboutin is always closely involved.

We are thrilled to hear that American actress, model and newlywed (just last week) Jenifer Stano has launched her luxurious and uber sexy Beverley Hills range of swimwear Have Faith to the UK.

Having a bikini obsession also makes me extremely picky, especially when it comes to the cut of the bottoms but Have Faith’s swimwear ticks all the right boxes. I only like to wear Brazilian cut bottoms and can’t stand it when I find the most gorgeous bikini but it only comes with Bridget Jones type briefs. For those of you who don’t know what a Brazilian cut bikini is, it basically means the cut in-between a regular brief (Bridget Jones to me) and a thong. They’re not quiet as revealing as a thong but show off just enough cheek, which is super sexy and much more flattering – it almost has the lifting effect a bra has so that your derrière stays perfectly perked!

The Have Faith collection is greatly influenced by the fashion and glamorous life and style of ‘Vegas Pool Parties’! With the collection proving to be one of the most popular ranges in Beverley Hills boutiques, we think Have Faith is just what the UK swimwear market needs.

Check out Jennifer’s luxurious range of swimwear as well as her tunics which are to die for!

About Jennifer:

As well as this, Jennifer is a successful model having worked with many luxury fashion brands and well known products such as Prada, Miu Miu and Oil of Olay.

	For a vintage chic look the Day-Glo Satchel (from £66.95) makes the perfect companion.  The brighter the better I say and what’s more this baby will fit my entire essential beauty kit with room to spare for tasty snacks which is top priority as far as I’m concerned. Lovingly handcrafted from 100% leather and completely individual, it’s a no brainer I just have to get one!
	I’ll be booting it up with Dr Martens (£85), a retro and timeless favourite in the footwear stakes, sturdy enough to handle a washout weekend yet gentle on the tooties as cushioned with loveliness; but if you’re a girly girl then they just won’t do so an alternative is to flat it out with a cute pair of CoCo Rose pumps (£39) or Crocs Tone Skylars (£39) that will work wonders with jeans or a floaty maxi dress… let’s just hope the sun stays out for the show.
	I love this dungaree style Daisy Floral Playsuit (£17.99), a mischievous little number that could only mean one thing… fun frolics with friends! But a staple item for any summer wardrobe is a colourful dress and this Bandeau Oriental Chiffon Maxi Dress (£24.99) is just the ticket.
	When the sun goes down and the air becomes chilly you’d be mad not to have a cover-up solution so go for a cool Leather Biker Jacket (£59.90) to keep you warm and still look the part for the evening set.
	The Brixton Drifter Straw Pork Pie Hat with Feather Trim (£40) featuring a narrow brim, dip to the crown and striped ribbon band will inject that touch of rock chick style to any outfit.

All I need now is to get my tickets!
