The Glory of Impressionism

Pieter Brueghel

Impressionism - what a wonderful arts movement that glorified nature and manmade in the timeline of history. Now, drawing on the unforgettable style, Christian Louboutin has produced a lookbook worthy of hanging around the house. The iconic red-soled heels are scattered amongst the photographs, being easily deceived as paintings, and rather than being hidden, they complement the spirited floral arrangements. 

Claude Monet

The photographer Peter Lippmann has captured the shoes perfectly, ensuring that the artistic style of famous Impressionist artists have been honoured. Artists such as Paul Cézanne, Henri Fantin-Latour, Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet have been paid homage to throughout the lookbook, it's up to you to figure out which images do so. The quaint grandeur of Impressionism has definitely been reinterpreted with effortlessness with this lookbook.

Moschino's "Vuoto" Exhibition

The 30th Anniversary of the legendary Moschino label has been marked with an exhibition of some of the late Franco Moschino's paintings. This is a rare opportunity to gander at art originally created for the labels 1989/1990 Autumn/Winter campaign and for the 10th Anniversary of the fashion house. All the paintings give an insight into the vision of the late designer's fascination with Surrealism and Dadaism, which successfully flowed into his fashion collections. Fashion paintings are a given, but other subjects are touched upon, including cultural relations, Romanticism and even the parody of the famous René Magritte painting "The Son of Man". The exhibition is held at one of Rome's illustrious shopping strips, right near the landmark Piazza Di Spagna, until 31st January.
