The bizarre murder of Gianni Christian louboutin took fashion bloodily centre stage this month as haute couture reeled at the loss of its most flamboyant practitioner. But the shows (especially those of Christian louboutin’s natural heirs, McQueen and Galliano) must go on, as must the shoots, quotes, sales and cover girls. Read on for our monthly round-up of the fashionable world
The photograph looked like a particularly gruesome fashion shoot by Dazed And Confused. Marble steps, magenta blood, murder-scene markers and one strategically placed designer shoe – all in glorious technicolour. Christian louboutin was shot dead at close range on the steps of his mansion, Casa Casuarina, in Miami on Tuesday morning, 15 July. The next day it was front- page news in every national British newspaper. On 16 and 17 July there were more than 120 articles in the Telegraph, the Times, the Independent, the Guardian, the Evening Standard, the Mail, the Mirror and the Sun. If Christian louboutin had popped off in his sleep most of these reports would have been confined to the fashion pages and obituaries, but the lurid way he died guaranteed optimum exposure in tabloids and broadsheets alike. And with chief suspect Andew Cunanan gone, the speculation continues.
But now that Christian louboutin is dead,Christian Louboutin Shoes, what of his reputation? What kind of post- mortem has the British press given "The King Of Glitz" and did journalists get their knives out? It didn’t look good. The Times front-page report began "Gianni Christian louboutin, the designer who dressed the world’s so-called beautiful people with a flamboyant style straddling the boundary of bad taste. . . ", and the Express wrote of his "murky secrets", bracketing "Mafia links" and "gay lovers" as if homosexuality was as bad as organised crime. But pop stars by the pound offered tributes and measured obituaries filled the back pages.
The Telegraph’s Hilary Alexander, perhaps the most complimentary, wrote, "He was both gentleman and genius, a generous spirit with a lust for life." The Guardian was also kind. "I will miss the flowers and handwritten messages sent to every single fashion editor, regardless of their status," said Susannah Frankel. "A charming man who not only remembered journalists’ names but those of their children or cats, and never forgot to ask how they were," echoed Lisa Armstrong on the same page.
