LOS ANGELES, CA - Just One Eye boutique in Hollywood recently feted an exclusive collaboration between Indian fashion and Bollywood costume designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee andFrench footwear designer Christian Louboutin. The limited-edition Christian Louboutin x Sabyasachi capsule collection for men and women features sneakers, loafers, sandals, booties and boots ranging from $1,095 to $4,995 as well as $2,450 handbags,
according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. Some of the lavishly hand-embroidered styles are made to order and use sari fabrics from Mukherjee’s archives. The collaboration is available only at Just One Eye and marks the brand’s official West Coast debut. It is sold alongside an exclusive, 60-piece Sabyasachi women’s apparel collection of jackets, tunics, skirts and dresses handmade at the designer’s atelier in Kolkata, India.
In L.A. for the collaboration’s launch, the two designers looked on in delight as a troupe of dancers acted out a Sleeping Beauty-inspired story, written by Louboutin, in which a woman in a deep sleep is finally roused by an exquisite pair of Christian Louboutin x Sabyasachi boots
Louboutin praising Sabyasachi said,``To me, he is definitely the most important designer in India; apart from his talent, he has a huge respect for handicraft and artisanship and is fantastic at mixing things.” “We make all our own fabrics and embroideries and prints in Kolkata,” said Mukherjee, noting that he would like to dress Blake Lively and Meryl Streep. “L.A. is glamorous in a very casual way. It has a strong sense of bohemian luxury, so I did this collection of chiffon and velvet in styles that are a little more slouchy and easy. I like that L.A. is horizontal, not vertical; it’s such a pleasure that you can see the sky. There’s such a sense of freedom here. The whole city feels like you’re on holiday.” “This collection is not just about L.A.; it’s also about this store,” Louboutin added. “The people from Just One Eye have a very, very big eye. Every time I come to L.A., I come to this place to look at things. It’s very inspiring.”
Hollywood actress Demi Moore and daughter Rumer Willis, Dita Von Teese and Langley Fox were present at the inaugural event .
