The shoe designer wore one of his own creations, inspired by his friendship with the gay athlete.
Last night, footwear maestro Christian Louboutin--known for his red-soled creations--atteneded the opening of an exhibition at London's Design Museum that celebrates the past twenty years of his work. Mr. Louboutin paid homage to his signature soles with a nail polish red blazer, and, of course, shoes of his own design. For this special occasion, the designer chose to wear a style known as the "Gareth," which is a beatuifully rendered classic wingtip, but with metal detailing at the toe. The shoe is named after the openly gay British rugby player--and Out100 honoree--Gareth Thomas, who is friendly with the designer.
