Christian Louboutin Collaborates With Thomas Heatherwick On First Fragrance

Architect Thomas Heatherwick's design imprint lands on the exquisite design of perfume bottles for the first fragrance of Christian Louboutin. The designer of red-sole, femme fatale stilettos for stars knew that he wanted an architectural influence in his fragrance vessels. These three empowering bottles present ‘Bikini Questa Sera‘ a warm tuberose and jasmine scent,  ‘Trouble in Heaven‘ a mixture of iris notes and patchouli both engineered by perfumer Pierre Negrin as well as ‘Tornade Blonde‘ a red rose fragrance with nuances of violet and cassis by Olivier Cresp. The goddesses will be delighted.

Thomas Heatherwick was the focus of a winter 2012 interview and design philosophy investigation by the Economist. The full range of his design vision is represented in a sweeping images from these Christian Louboutin perfume bottles to the utterly grand 'Vessel' public landmark sculpture that is the centerpiece of Manhattan's Hudson Yards development.

The sculpture, under construction in Italy and designated for completion in 2018, is 15 stories high and is filled with 2,500 climbable stairs.
