THE INFLUENTIAL DESIGNER TALKS TO STARWARS.COM ABOUT HIS BREATHTAKING STAR WARS CREATIONS FOR CHARITY.World-renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin has taken his iconic style to a galaxy far, far away. In a special collaboration with Lucasfilm and Disney, Louboutin has designed four pairs of shoes and a shoe art piece — the “Space Shoe” — celebrating the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The four main shoes are all inspired by characters from The Last Jedi: the Resistance’s Amilyn Holdo, mechanic Rose Tico, the First Order’s Captain Phasma, and scavenger-turned-Jedi-hopeful Rey. Each contains colors and textures representing their characters, from Holdo’s elegant burgundy to the shining silver of Phasma’s armor. The art piece is detailed, playful, and as Luke Skywalker would say, “full of surprises” — it even has thrusters and a hidden cockpit. StarWars.com called Louboutin to discuss the making of the shoes, which were on display at the Star Wars: The Last Jedi red carpet event on Saturday. All are being auctioned off to benefit Starlight Children’s Foundation on behalf of Star Wars: Force for Change; if you’re the highest bidder for any of the items, you’ll receive a tour and screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi at Lucasfilm in San Francisco. Here are some of his greatest insights along with concept art, final images of the shoes, and photos from the red carpet.
