Preview: Christian Louboutin Spring Summer 2012 Mens Shoes!

I had the pleasure of attending the preview of Christian Louboutin's Spring Summer 2012 shoes on Friday. How can a big fan like myself miss out on having a first hand look at the upcoming creations of Monsieur Louboutin:-) I am glad I attended the preview... since I have already identified a few pairs which I want badly!

To sum up the new collection, I can safely say is it's going to be a riot of fun next season:-) The preferred styles of Christian Louboutin's new collection for men continues to revolve around those amazing spiked designs. Louis spikes trainers take on a collegiate feel with varsity style lettering (SGD2200) or 'No Limit' leopard haircalf decorated with a regal blazon (Flipside is crystal studded) (SGD2500). Mirrored metallic leathers in multiple colours (SGD1600) are also a hot favourite in terms of material for these wildly fun shoes. The spikes are of course, taking centre stage... ranging from gold to silver, big and small.

If you continue to be bewildered by Christian Louboutin's Rollerboy Spikes... ready yourselves with an all mirrored metallic silver version that will steal the limelight from your peers. Or like me, covet those Pik Boat shoes (SGD1100). I am especially drawn to those blue gingham checks version which balances the spirit of French Rivera summer with some spiky street edge. Gorgeous, it's a must have in my books!

For those looking for something beyond those over-the-top designs, you may fancy the smart Gareth Leather Lace-ups which features an actual metal brogue captoe. Gareth will definitely see you party ready any day! On the casual end, try on those striped Papi Hugo Espadrilles featuring a embroidered blazon with 'C.L' initials... as if symbolic of your loyalty to the Christian Louboutin boy's club. Wear them on deck for any seafaring adventures or simply lazing around town on weekends.

If the shoes mentioned above are not suffice to meet your high standards of approval, how about a shoe that can come off as an art piece as well as footwear? Meet the Collage Trash collection which will be offered in Alfred Flat lace-ups, Louis trainers and even an iPad case. The collection creatively features a unique collage artwork made from everyday 'discarded items' the likes of paper strips, metal foil, wrappers and threads, all piece together to form an interesting artwork. Every piece is unique in its expression, no 2 are alike. Olivia Palermo has already been spotted with the women's version of these unique shoes!
