On September 28, 2024, Christian Louboutin showcased his new Miss Z stilettos during Paris Fashion Week with a unique synchronized swimming performance. The event, titled 'Paris is Louboutining,' took place at the historic Piscine Molitor, an Art Deco pool that has been a Parisian landmark since 1929. Louboutin collaborated with renowned photographer and director David LaChapelle for the art direction and choreographer Blanca Li to create an extravagant underwater spectacle featuring 14 dancers and 15 members of the French Olympic artistic swimming team. The performance was designed to surprise audiences by merging the worlds of fashion and athletics, a concept that Louboutin had been contemplating even before the upcoming Paris Olympics. The event was further enhanced by a live performance from musician LP, adding to the overall theatricality of the show. This innovative approach reflects Louboutin's background in designing for showgirls and his desire to push the boundaries of traditional fashion presentations.
