Christian Louboutin, the renowned fashion designer known for his red-soled shoes, is set to launch the highly anticipated ‘Greekaba’ collection. Created in collaboration with Greek artist and illustrator Konstantin Kakanias, this capsule collection of footwear and handbags is a celebration of Louboutin’s love for travel and his adventures in Athens.
The ‘Greekaba’ collection showcases a range of vibrant and eye-catching prints and illustrations. One notable design depicts Louboutin gifting Miss Tependris, a fictional character, with a pair of custom shoes. Another design portrays the duo raising their glasses in celebration of Louboutin’s arrival. These illustrations beautifully capture Louboutin’s wanderlust and his appreciation for Greek culture.
In addition to the captivating artwork, the collection introduces two unique prints, namely the ‘Loubieye’ print and the ‘Loubi Odyssey’ print. The ‘Loubieye’ print puts a modern twist on the traditional ‘blue eye’, which is believed to offer protection against the evil eye. The ‘Loubi Odyssey’ print draws inspiration from Louboutin’s Mediterranean voyage with Miss Tependris, exploring the stunning Cyclades islands.
The handbags from the ‘Greekaba’ collection come in various sizes, including a smaller bucket style and the innovative Loubiphore silhouette. The Loubiphore silhouette takes inspiration from the slender proportions of Ancient Greek amphoras, adding a touch of ancient elegance to the modern designs. On the footwear front, the collection offers an array of styles, from flats and sandals to boots, ensuring a wide selection for fashion enthusiasts.
Similar to previous seasonal collections, a portion of the proceeds from the ‘Greekaba’ collection will be donated to a charitable cause. This year, the chosen association is ‘Together for Children’ (TFC), a Greek non-profit organization that supports children, young adults with disabilities, and their families in need. By purchasing items from this collection, customers not only acquire a unique piece of Louboutin’s artistry but also contribute to a meaningful cause.
Christian Louboutin’s ‘Greekaba’ collection exemplifies his passion for travel and creativity. With its captivating illustrations, distinct prints, and commitment to philanthropy, this collection is bound to captivate the hearts of fashion enthusiasts and create a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
