Christian Louboutin is known for its iconic red bottoms, and now the high-fashion shoe brand has debuted a collection of Nude shoes that work no matter what color your skin is.
Typically, the term "nude" means a light tan or peachy color that only really matches white skin, but the brand's latest collection features seven shades ranging from Fair to Chestnut. Last April, the designer released an inclusive collection of nude shoes featuring five diverse shades, but now there are two new colors in The Nudes Collection.
"I've always done a Nude shoe but only using the color beige," Louboutin explained at the time. When an employee pointed out to him that "beige is not the color" of their skin, he quickly realized the issue with putting out beige shoes and calling them "nude."
"I have clients from every continent and want to make them happy," he added. "Nude shoes go with everything and allow you to wear any handbag or accessory you want."
The newest shoe in The Nude Collection is a ballerina flat called Solasofia. These ballet-type shoes come in the seven nude shades and cost $595 each. The other popular shoes in the collection, which are both heels called Pigalle Goillies 100 and Senora 100, also now come in all seven colors.
"The nude collection is dedicated to people who want to have great legs, to have a great silhouette. Not necessarily to emphasize the shoe," Louboutin said. "If you look at a shoe, it looks good, if you don't look at the shoe, if you don't see the details, it's all about the legs; it's all about the person...It's great for when you are just thinking of yourself, when you're not thinking of being dressed. It keeps you undressed in a way."
"A nude for every woman," the brand wrote on Instagram "This spring, two new hues join our Nudes collection to create a spectrum of seven suited to any skin tone, from porcelain to deep chocolate."
"A spectrum of nudes. Seven shades of nude ensure every woman can meet her match," another post reads. "Constructed from soft, flexible matte nappa leather, our new nudes mimic the feeling of skin, allowing the shoe to nearly disappear on the leg."
