Christian Louboutin’s cabinet of curiosities

Following the grand opening of ‘L’ Exhibitioniste’ at the historic Palais de la Porte Dorée in Paris earlier in 2020, French-Egyptian fashion designer Christian Louboutin is interviewed in his private office, where proof of his curious mind is expressed in most of the furniture.

As he explains, Louboutin’s work and inspirations come from a lifetime of seeking new experiences, which are brought to life by collaborations with artists and artisans in the 11-room retrospective.

During the interview, the designer also offers a tour of his own, creative psyche, from designing for showgirls to working with artists such as Imran Qureshi and David Lynch.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
