Christian Louboutin designed a whopping 250 custom shoes for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
The global superstar has worked with the luxury fashion house since her 2018 Reputation Tour, and the 60-year-old French fashion designer has revealed the mammoth undertaking of preparing so many individual styles.
Louboutin told Vogue magazine: “When working for performers, it’s better to start with a very large number of styles that will end up in a selection of designs which seem the best for the stage.”
On designing footwear for performers, he said: “Performing requires a lot of skill and concentration, so whatever costume or shoes you’re wearing must not become a distraction.
“They need to disappear from your thoughts, allowing your voice to be the only instrument that matters, ensuring you give your best performance and convey emotion to the audience staring at you.”
Louboutin also confessed he might be designing some new editions along the way.
“She also likes to entertain her audience and surprise them, date after date,” he said. “So, there might be more to come…”
Meanwhile, Swift was recently praised for “single-handedly” boosting the career of fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk. Juszczyk is the wife of Kyle Juszczyk, an American football fullback for the San Francisco 49ers.
Kristin Juszczyk’s designs went viral after Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Swift, who is dating the Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, wore Juszczyk’s sports jackets.
Appearing on the Today show, Juszczyk said: “Brittany texted me and she said, ‘Hey, can you send me a video of Taylor’s jacket?’ And I was like, ‘Wait, is there a possibility of you guys both wearing this?’ And she said, ‘Yeah, we're wearing it.’
“It was just such a pinch-me moment. I mean, it just was incredible.”
Referring to the pop star, the fashion designer said: “She’s single-handedly catapulted my career.
“I’ve been at this for years. When I saw her walk out in that jacket, it just like, brought me to tears.”
