David Lynch has partnered with shoe world god Christian Louboutin to promote a special, very limited edition of ladies’ footwear. Appropriately titled “Fetish”, the project started out as a photo essay by Lynch, documenting an extremely serious pair of Louboutin heels. After unveiling the images at Paris Fashion Week, Lynch and Louboutin developed five sets of shoes, as well as five sets of prints of Lynch’s photographs of otherwise-naked models wearing the shoes, to sell to collectors. Louboutin creepily described the collaboration thusly:
The models wore these unwearable shoes with natural grace. Their very white skin, very dark eyes and bright mouths melded with Lynch’s aesthetics…As is his habit, David Lynch made it into a dĂ©cor populated with shadows.
