Christian Louboutin pays homage to American cowboy culture in its latest Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, “Giddy Up.” Inspired by the rodeo heritage of the United States, this collection introduces the rugged and rebellious spirit of the Wild West to the brand’s signature elegance. The collection features footwear and accessories for both men and women, blending iconic Americana elements like denim, leather, and embroidery.
Cowboy boots are reimagined with luxurious materials such as velour and strass, adding a touch of sophistication to rustic aesthetics. One of the standout pieces of the collection is the “Santigag Strass” boot, which combines Wild West style with Parisian elegance. The boot is adorned with crystals and features a low heel, perfectly encapsulating the collection’s overall theme.
Other pieces, such as the “Our Pabelito” derby shoes, highlight the masculine side of cowboy culture and are available in hairy calf or leather. The collection extends beyond footwear, introducing accessories like backpacks and belts, showcasing Christian Louboutin’s commitment to quality leather craftsmanship. The “Explorafunk small” backpack, for instance, features intricate embroidery and calf leather, adding a luxurious touch to a traditionally utilitarian accessory.
Denim, a central fabric in the collection, is used in both footwear and bags. Louboutin has also integrated modern design elements into this Western-inspired collection, with pieces like the “Mini” pump featuring an inflated heel and squared toe cap. This mix of elements is a hallmark of the Giddy Up collection.
The collection also includes showstopping designs like the “Loubipoupi” strappy sandals, embellished with denim and feathers. Athletic influences are present as well, with the “Rocknrun” line of performance sneakers offering a sporty alternative to classic cowboy boots.
