Be prepared to see many more Christian Louboutin red soles strutting through the Meatpacking District.The iconic shoe designer has decided to further foster his global development in one of the most fashionable areas of New York City, the Meatpacking District. He will open a store in the spring of next year right around the corner from his current women's boutique at 59 Horatio Street on Washington between Horatio and Gansevoort.
This will be Louboutin's second men's store in the world. He opened the first shop in Paris on Sept 11, to mass critical acclaim, according to Women's Wear Daily.Details on the 1,035-square foot specialty NYC store are sparse. However, WWD speculates that customers will have the option to get their shoes tattooed — to match their own or, if un-inked, choosen from a portfolio. This perk is currently offered at the Paris store.Another likely feature will be Louboutin's signature "redworked red carpet." The store will offer a snazzy array of men's footwear, including a patent leather loafer with pearl tassels priced at over $2,000 to glitter high tops for $895.
