SHUN SUDO
As part of his Spring/Summer 2024 collection, Christian Louboutin joins together with Japanese artist Shun Sudo to unveil an exciting lifestyle capsule of colorful shoes and accessories for women and men. The limited capsule collection launches alongside a vibrant and exclusive artwork crafted by Shun Sudo to illustrate the collaboration: Button Flower Blossoms. Co-designed by Shun Sudo & Christian Louboutin, this artistic collaboration ties back to the designerʼs vivid passions for art and nature, revisiting a selection of the Maisonʼs most iconic silhouettes in an exclusive floral print and embellishment.
“I love Shun Sudo’s work. While working on the collection we discovered many common points in the way we work on colors, with strong and audacious combinations. And since the very beginning of my career I’ve one emblematic flower: the Pensee (my first design to receive the red sole), he has his own one: the Button Flower that appeared to become the center of the collection. His technique also is very characteristic and I did my best to transcript this painting effect on the shoes.”

“Christian Louboutin’s shoes exude a sense of beauty, eccentricity, and delicacy that I have never seen in my life. They inspired my creativity. I am very grateful to have collaborated with Christian. Flowers, with their nobility and grace, their sweetness and charm, they have a special ability to heal our hearts. The Button, is, in my mind, the perfect embodi- ment of something that connects two separate things and makes them one. The “Button Flower” brings these two powerful symbols together and is really at the very core of my personal philosophy of hope and my wish that the hearts of different peoples, nations, and cultures will be joined into one.“
