Christian Louboutin Teams Up With Idris and Sabrina Elba Again For “Walk a Mile in My Shoes Season II

French shoe designer Christian Louboutin is again collaborating with Idris and Sabrina Elba for a second release of their footwear collection, Walk A Mile In My Shoes, a partnership dedicated to diversity and inclusion and born of 2020’s social and racial justice activism movement. Together, they created a specially curated capsule collection from which 100% of the proceeds from sales benefitted five organizations supporting social equality worldwide

Sabrina Elba took to Instagram to share the good news:

We’re back!!! I’m so so excited to announce our second collection with @louboutinworld, Walk A Mile In My Shoes II

The collection is an invitation to celebrate hope, empathy, and diversity and support education, the creative arts, and youth empowerment with 100% of the proceeds from the sales donated to six charities across the globe. So buy a pair and support!!! Let me repeat, 100% of proceeds from sales go to our handpicked grassroots organizations.

Just as the first capsule launched a year ago, 100% of the proceeds from “Walk a Mile in My Shoes Season II” will be donated to grassroots organizations supporting social equality. This year, Louboutin and the Elbas partnered to fund six programs centred on education, the arts and youth empowerment, with funding in the U.S. focusing on Art Start, a New York-based organization dedicated to supporting marginalized youth.

The new collection is comprised of 13 different footwear styles along with three handbags, all available through the Christian Louboutin site

2. Dior Debuts its Cruise’ 23 Collection

The French fashion house paid tribute to flamenco dancer, Carmen Amaya

For cruise 2023, Dior embraced the post-pandemic trend of re-embracing the far-flung fashion show, taking the fashion pack to Seville this week to present its a Spanish-inspired collection, which paid tribute to flamenco dancer, Carmen Amaya.

“The icon of this collection is La Capitana, the name given to Carmen Amaya,” explained the house. “With her freedom to dance that did not submit to any rule, she represented the essence of Flamenco. An artist with singular, revolutionary movements, she was the first dancer in her field to dress in men’s clothing, combining power and fragility through her art. Expressing the soul of Spain, she continues to embody a conscious and plural femininity.”
