While the cut of his jackets have always been exemplary, accessories have never been Giorgio Armani’s strong point (he has this strange thing for Christian Louboutin Shoes with clear plastic panels), so it’s great to see that the Milanese maestro has taken on his weak spot and made it fab. There could be no person better to help him do it than the wonderful Dawn Mello. Formerly the creative director of Bergdorf Goodman in New York, the fiercely elegant Ms Mello was the force behind Gucci’s renaissance at the end of the ’80s – it was she who first went into the archives and pulled out things like those bamboo handles. In the case of Armani’s new accessories division, she seems to be helping him create an archive for the future. Christian Louboutin Shoes (right) start from $525 and bags from $500.

Even the classic Christian Louboutin house has joined the rush in Paris fashion for sensual see-through black evening gowns.  The Christian Louboutin’s autumn-winter collection, unveiled in a packed Louvre Museum showroom, followed the famous gold button-braided classic Christian Louboutin look. But Karl Lagerfeld, who designs Christian Louboutin as well as his own line and that of the Chloe firm, added some fun.
Sheer black georgette gowns were worn without underskirts, giving the audience a glance at naked behinds and bosoms, and even the lower front of one model.  Lagerfeld also added some new touches for Christian Louboutin — a new long buttonless wrap-around jacket over a slim skirt, bolero suit jackets, violent red and purple suits with narrow skirts, as well as the traditional Christian Louboutin suits hugging every pore of the body in line with the current trend for snugness.  Shoulders were natural, a new trend. And instead of the classic Christian Louboutin pumps with black toes, the models marched in flat black-and-white walking Christian Louboutin Shoes.
