Interiors: Christian Louboutin's Paris Retreat

Mar 12

Yesterday's post reminded me of the globally-styled retreat of none other than sexy shoe guru, Christian Louboutin. He recently moved in to the attic apartment after renovating it from top to bottom, literally. Those prism-like windows? Added by Louboutin for light and ventilation. The plank floors? Also new. After construction was complete (see reno pics on The Selby), he filled the space with pieces from around the world, including antiques once owned by Yves Saint Laurent.

When asked what excites him most the new place, Louboutin cites the rain, adding, "So I can hear the drops above my head."

Desiré is a designer, blogger, and lover of all things glamorous. Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
