Shoe designer Christian Louboutin has confirmed he is branching out into the cosmetics world.
He says he is excited about the new products, but doesn’t see them as a huge step away from his usual work.
“Twenty years ago I started what I thought would be a small adventure, which ended up becoming a company. The beauty adventure is a natural extension for someone like me, who likes to empower women and to be a part of creating beauty seems like the right next step,” he said.
The line will be called Christian Louboutin Beauté and is in association with Batallure Beauty. The company is thrilled to have landed such an iconic collaborator.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Christian Louboutin to translate his world-renowned creative vision into the luxury beauty world,” chairman and co-founder Robin Burns said.
“Wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes completely transforms a woman and Christian will bring that same transformative quality to women through his beauty products.”
At the moment there are no details of what will be included in the line, although it’s thought it will be based on cosmetics. The range will be available to buy at some point next year.
“Christian Louboutin understands how women want to see themselves - stylish, compelling and beautiful,” Batallure Beauty’s president and CEO Sam Ghusson said. “We look forward to partnering with Christian in building Christian Louboutin Beauté into a significant business."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
