An Ode to The Pigalle

If you're a shoe lover like me, you would know that The "Pigalle" that i'm referring to in my title is not the neighborhood or metro stop in Paris, but the name given by Christian Louboutin to one of his pointy pumps.

To me, the Christian Loboutin Pigalles are the most perfect pointy pumps ever. It seems Mr. Louboutin just nailed it in this shoe (as in a lot of his shoes actually) with regards to  perfect proportions and arch! They are only 4 inches high, but that makes it look even more classic. I would wear this shoe even twenty years from now! (well I would wear this shoe right this second if only I could actually afford it!)

Playing imaginary shoe wardrobe: I would definitely get both the black and the nude! They are both classic colors and will go great with anything. I think the nude ones are absolute perfection! If I only have enough money for one pair, I would definitely get the nudes over the black ones.

They also have other colors like blue and dark pink or coral (?):

No matter the color, it still looks classy and beautfiul! I hope they don't stop making them before I can actually afford them! :o

I know I've said before that there is a whole wide world of shoes outside of the Louboutin World- because it seems that EVERYONE is just so into Louboutins and I think there are sooo many other great shoe designers out there. But I think the reason why his shoes are so popular is because most of them are so perfectly proportioned and their shapes are so timeless and classic. Like I said above, most of his shoes are the types that you would probably still wear in the years to come. The Pigalles are a true testament to that.

*note: the pigalles I featured here are the Pigalle 120mm.

The blue and dark pink/coral pigalles I found at net-a-porter.com

The rest of the Pigalles in this post are from the Christian Louboutin website.

    the pigalle is definitely a classic wardrobe staple. i think if you should invest in any louboutins it should be either the black or nude version of these. hopefully one day you and i can afford these babies!

    I agree that this shoe is a classic and looks great in just about any color. I could never afford these shoes, so I always go for more affordable brands that still look fantastic :)

    This is the most perfect shoe to ever be created. But like you said, most of Christian Louboutin are simply perfection. I adore the range of colours, especially how cute the neon is!

    Black is my favorite. I can imagine how sharp this would look with my favorite red Chanel lipstick bit.ly/H76ypg

    i think the pigalles are the holy grail of pointy black pumps. I WANT THEM SO BAD. checking net-a-porter on a daily basis to see if they have them in black. :/
    anyway, i wouldn´t say no to all the other colors as well. LOL

    I just purchased the turquoise color. I'm in love. I wanted the black pair but they were sold out in my size. It's Soooo hard to find these heels and I finally got them. So sexy!
