Christian Louboutin’s Moda Operandi exclusive capsule drops today and the offering is worthy of the Château de Versailles. Three styles inspired by the opulent 18th-century French court and their Rococo embroideries are offered in a limited edition of only 50 units each. The shoes, in the stiletto Pigalle, open-toed mule, and ballerina style required approximately 67 hours of work per pair to create and hand embroider in gold or silver thread and paillettes, with up to six people scrupulously working on the creations.
