Christian Louboutin iPhone Application

Christian Louboutin, the most exclusive shoe brand in the fashion business, holds a unique allure. From one perspective, Christian Louboutin is no more than a pair of shoes with distinctive red soles; from another perspective, Christian Louboutin is a dream!

The Louboutin dream is so powerful and irresistible that people are willing to save their wages and reduce their consumption to acquire a pair of these red dreams. Similar to the dream of owning a Ferrari, Christian Louboutin is undoubtedly more affordable than the luxury car. No matter how much you save, owning a Ferrari is nearly impossible.

Recently, Christian Louboutin introduced its iPhone application. Similar to the Louboutin website, it incorporates creative elements. The standout feature is the shoe box; when an image is downloaded, a half-open shoe box appears instead of a mundane “loading” image. Some of the Louboutin shoes offer a 360-degree view, and each product includes technical information. While it may seem amusing for Louboutin to label it as technical information, it remains important for many customers.

Other sections of the Christian Louboutin iPhone application include Videos, 20 ans, What’s New, Wish List, and Store Locator. Additionally, the Men’s Section is not overlooked.

The Christian Louboutin application is a product of clever design. The interface is user-friendly, doesn’t consume too much memory space, and provides the same experience as the website.

For those interested, here is the iTunes link for the application.

Jimmy Choo Men Wallets Spring Summer 2012

Jimmy Choo’s men expansion is well-known by everyone. Jimmy Choo started business from designing women shoes and ended up with men accessories. Of course, like many other brands Jimmy Choo is loyal to their roots while designing the men collection.

Here is the Spring / Summer 2012 men wallet collection! If I didn’t write “men”, you may think totally the opposite!

Range Rover Evoque Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham’s limited edition Range Rover Evoque is finally revealed! As I mentioned yesterday, I was expecting to see something a bit catastrophic and hopefully I was wrong. Beckham’s edition looks really nice and there is no design bit that ruins the harmony. On the contrary, Beckham edition looks a bit muscular than feminine. Exterior matte finish black with black forged 20-inch wheels turns this limited edition into a really muscular car. I was expecting to see some flashy colours of this fashion season but Beckham did not wish to spoil the Evoque with contemporary fashion.
Interior looks way much better! The hand stitched vintage inspired leather seats are completed with rose gold-plated accents. And here we can see that, Victoria Beckham places her signature! There is one thing I never liked in a car, gold. Unfortunately, this very valuable material may not improve the harmony of a luxury vehicle, instead it sometimes ruin the harmony. However, Evoque Beckham is not covered with gold inside, and I did not see it with my own eyes. So, I don’t want to be so brutal while criticising but, I still consider it as a minus for this vehicle.
It did not finish yet, when you buy this limited to 200 Evoque, you will have also get a four pieces of Victoria Beckham leather luggage and a hand-sewn leather wallet for owner’s manual with her signature (I hope she signed them by herself, not a printed signature). When you consider the price Victoria Beckham’s fashion line, these four pieces of leather luggage is a bargain. If you would like to buy them from Net-A-Porter, you would definitely pay more money than an Evoque.
Unfortunately, Beckham’s limited edition is only available with coupe version. And that’s a pain when you wish to get onto rear seat. Because, it is impossible especially if someone is as tall as Victoria Beckham with skyscraper heels tries to get onto back seats, the result will be a fail! 
In general, this car is way much better than I expected from Victoria Beckham. Unfortunately, they did not stop inspiring the Evoque from the fashion and they priced as £79,995 not £80,000. Sorry but it is very very expensive. You can buy a proper Range Rover or a Porsche 911 or Mercedes SL for this price. I know this is a limited edition and it has to be priced like this but this is too expensive, I am sorry!

Giuseppe Zanotti Shoe vs. 2nd Hand Premium Cars!

I don’t like to compare irrelevant things between each other, such as women shoes and second hand cars. Unfortunately, designers are motivating me to compare their products with something totally irrelevant. Recently, Kayne West designed a shoe for Giuseppe Zanotti. There is nothing wrong with this, actually Kayne West is not a designer but, I don’t how he managed to became a designer.
Anyway, the shoe he designed is sold for £4145 / €4940 / $5810. And at any currency, these shoes are ridiculously expensive! The shoe designer Celine Ouaknine (Design shoes for JLo, Bebe and many other very well-known brands) mentioned on her blog about this pointless high price tag for a pair shoes.
When the price tag is so high, I immediately jump to Autotrader.co.uk to search for a car around this price tag. So, I end up with two years old Ford Mondeos, five years old BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class and this list goes forever. All these cars are running, they have decent four-door, engine, four-wheel, many technological features. They are not pre-historic cars, you can buy and drive them happily for quite long time. And they have the same price tag with Kayne West Giuseppe Zanotti shoes! I really cannot understand why someone is willing to pay this amount of money for them. If you are fashion addicted, you may buy ten pairs of relatively cheaper models!
I know some people will say, they are unique. That’s true but it is not a reasonable fact to boost the price like this. In the end, they are not as complicated as an iPhone’s Retina Display :)
After this very scientific research, it is obvious that Kayne West Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are over-priced and do not offer any technological innovation to bear this cost :)
If you still so desperate buy one, here is the link
Here what Celine thinks about these shoes: http://theshoegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/are-you-serious.html

Louis Vuitton 2012 Fashion Show with Steam Smoke!

Today I want to share the Louis Vuitton’s Fall Autumn 2012 Fashion Show with lots of steam smoke! This year LV decided on a fashion show concept based on steam-powered train to create a retro feeling. Unfortunately, smoke was fake, it doesn’t have that real black coal burned ashes spraying all around! Honestly, it would be really funny to see that smoke was real and ashes were sprayed all over the place :)
My suggestion to LV, next time use a space shuttle. As the space shuttle are retired now, you can buy one for good price!
Thanks @alisveriscini for the support :)

Prada’s Inspiration from 1950s American Cars

Sometimes I am missing really impressive news on media! Actually, I felt guilty for missing this amazing and interesting news from Prada!

Prada revealed this season’s shoes collection. Actually, there is nothing wrong with this and I am not supposed to mention this on a car blog. However, Prada is inspired by American cars from 1950s! Huge, covered with lots of chrome, extreme soft suspension with no handling at all, petrol consumption more than a jumbo jet and etc. Don’t worry, these high heels do not consume any petrol but they may need parking sensor while walking, thanks to sharp edges and long wings! On the other hand, these heels may offer very pleasant journey, sorry walking, as they are inspired by 1950s American cars.

From design perspective, they made an amazing job while transforming the design elements from cars to shoes. I salute them! However, I don’t understand why they ignored or skipped the European cars during 1950s! Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mercedes, Bentley, Maserati, Ferrari, Fiat and many others. They have amazing designs, they look perfect from every angle and nothing is exaggerated like American cars at those times. Especially, the Italian brands were amazing! And Prada is an Italian brand, I really don’t know why they ignored the European cars and jump into American cars.

I hope they won’t reveal a collection that is inspired by 1980s Jeep Cherokee :)

Still, amazing job! Well done Prada.
