There is no doubt that Christian Louboutin creates 'sexy' shoes. So this month when I picked up Wallpaper* magazine, I wasn't surprised to see their 'Sex and Art' issue represented by a pair of black, thigh-high Louboutin boots on the cover. The magazine's spread looks at the sexual drive behind art, design, fashion, food and beauty. Its centrepiece is a 28-page section by renowned art director Peter Saville and photographer Nick Knight, which conjures up the ultimate adult play pen where fashion, furniture and fetishism collide.
The rest of the issue takes in everything from aphrodisiac cocktails and cool condom packaging to erotic publishing and a look at the efforts to clean up the seedy sides of great cities. Wallpaper* also looks at the haute hard core of S&M's master craftsmen, uncovers the last taboo, and previews a startling and intimate series of videos shot for Wallpaper.com by US artist Robbie Cooper. Cooper's short films are a powerful new take on pornography and how we use it.
But those boots - are those sexy? I'm not so sure. I've tried on thigh-high boots before only to be disappointed because they fall off my leg, take forever to put on and just in general look quite trashy.
Leave me a comment, tell me if you think they're sexy. If not, tell me what is (in fashion).
