Christian Louboutin Drops Sunglasses Just as Iconic as Its Red Soles
Christian Louboutin elevates its iconic red soles to new heights with its debut eyewear collection.
Christian Louboutin is making a bold entrance into the eyewear world with a debut collection that puts a new spin on its take on modern luxury. Expanding beyond its footwear and accessories, the house brings its signature Parisian elegance and daring design to 12 pairs of sunglasses and five optical frames.
The brand’s penchant for artful shapes is on full display with this new release, offering styles that are both fashion-forward and practical. Women’s frames mimic the brand's stiletto names and embrace sculptural shapes, from the sensual curves of the “Hot Chick” cat-eye to the art-deco influences of the “Miss Z” line. Meanwhile, the men’s selection leans into sophisticated masculinity, with sharp, structured silhouettes like the “Greggo” and “Roller” styles, which feature bold metalwork and signature stud embellishments. The “Loubishark” sunglasses push the boundaries of design with their dynamic shark-bite-inspired temples. The debut collection embodies Louboutin’s signature flair and will be available to shop on the Christian Louboutin website, with prices starting at $625.
Materiality and craftsmanship are central to the collection, with high-quality constructions enriched by intricate detailing that reflect the House’s commitment to luxury. Delicate palmette-inspired patterns on the “So Kate” frames and edgy studded accents of the “Roller” are a testament to the brand’s fearless approach to design. A rich color palette— classic black and gold, signature red, and warm leather tones— echoes Louboutin’s famed accessories.
Drawing from the intricate detailing of its legendary footwear, the collection integrates signature elements like refined metalwork, avant-garde silhouettes, and unmistakable red accents. More than just a hallmark of its iconic soles, red transforms into a bold design statement, woven into each frame as a tribute to the brand’s daring aesthetic. As a fusion of exquisite craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation, the line is designed for those who appreciate eyewear as both a functional accessory and a work of art.
