Christian Louboutin is releasing a style book about his designs

By emilyborrett on September 22nd, 2011

For anyone who has a little bit of an Achilles heel when it comes to, well, heels, there’s a new glossy hardback coming out that you’ll definitely want on your coffee table as the legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin has revealed he’s planning to release a book on his iconic designs.

Christian Louboutin is like the holy grail of designer heels with his legendary red-bottomed soles, so we can’t wait to take a peek at the new book (currently it’s missing a title, but hopefully Christian will find the time to think one up).

The book is planned to be divided into six chapters, with the first showing the designer’s work earliest in his career, including pieces that created for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent and the other chapters showing his inspirations, the international stores, and gushing contributions from some of his loveliest, most famous friends – including Dita Von Teese and Kristen Scott Thomas.

We hope it’s out soon – we want it to go riiiiiiight to the top of our Christmas list IMMEDIATELY.

Lady Gaga promises her new book of portraits will show you everything – including photos of her showering

Lady Gaga's new book of portraits promises to show the star in a light that you haven't seen her before

We all know that Lady Gaga isn’t exactly shy and retiring but her new book of black-and-white portraits, shot by infamous fashion photographer Terry Richardson, will show her fans everything from her brushing her teeth to showering and weeing into cups. Blimey.

Gaga, the loveable eccentric, spoke about the ten-month period she spent with Richardson whilst shooting portraits from the book. “Terry was with me for [almost] a whole year, and, gosh, I didn’t hold anything back from Terry … he was with me every minute, every moment. It’s completely unfiltered. He has photographs of me waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, the shower. And the thing about Terry, if you know anything about his photography, is that nothing is staged; I mean, that’s sort of what he is renowned for. He can get you to do things and he can capture things that no one can ever capture.”

Richardson is probably the best choice to photograph her doing stuff like this, as he has a reputation for getting his stars to completely lose their inhibitions in photoshootoften highly sexualised and explicit, his work has come under fire from critics before. We have to say that we’re intrigued to see these photos..
