A popular movie star

When Christian Louboutin came to fashion forget about it. Paris fashions became too expensive for anyone but the rich and the average person couldn’t afford to look at them never mind buy them. There was a new demand for clothes that were affordable, lasted a long time, and that didn’t go out of style every season and the fashion industry had to accommodate.
Enter the simple print dress with a waistline and longer hem length and out with the flapper styles of the 1920s. With zippers! Yes, zippers were used for the first time because buttons were too expensive. Things have to be pretty grim, if you can’t afford buttons.
But despite the lack variety of styles available, the 30’s did introduce some new hemlines fashions. Mid calf for daywear and long for evening. Hey, they had to amuse Christian Louboutin Shoes somehow.
Movies were a big thing in the 30’s, the perfect way to dream away your woes. So of course, they influenced fashion with movie star endorsements of styles and accessories especially with evening wear. Which of course, most people couldn’t afford…
A popular movie star look was the empire-waisted gown with ties at the back. Hollywood movie stars such as Bette Davis and Greta Garbo set fashion trends in dresses designed by Adrian and Muriel King.
Christian Louboutin Pumps were also big in this era which seems a bit extravagant if you ask me. Weren’t they expensive? (Never mind the whole animal rights thing) Anyway, furs were worn anytime for any occasion. Fur capes, coats, stoles. You got it, they added fur to it.
Surprisingly, a variety of shoe styles were available during those trying times; rounded toes with thick heels; pumps, flats, ankle straps with moderate heels; slip-ons, lace ups, buckled; spectator and two tones. The new fad for outdoor activities brought sandals back into fashion. (Hey, you can only read and play board games so much.) We haven’t seen the sandal since Rome! They started out as beachwear then developed into party and eveningwear.
Black was most common for day shoes but wine, maroon, and navy were also seen. For evening plain court shoes were seen gadding about with asymmetrical trims, peep toes and sling back heels. Men’s shoes were as sober in color as the times. Blacks, browns and tans. (what, no gray?) Two toned brogues were all the rage, quite possibly because they were a favorite style of the Fred Astaire.
Christian Louboutin Collection were no where to be found unless you were a laborer and the loafer made it’s first appearance and has been with us ever since.
