Couture embroidery at its finest. This is when fashion truly crosses the boundary of art extraordinaire.
The shoes in the first photo were a $6,295 collaboration between Christian Louboutin and the House of Lesage back in 2009. The Paris couture embroidery house, now owned by Chanel, is known for its exquisite and intricate bead work and is responsible for most of the couture embroidery seen on the runway. C'est magnifique!!
