This week celebrated the opening of the first Christian Louboutin store dedicated to men in the United Kingdom, situated not far from the brand flagship store in Mayfair. At number 35 Dover Street, you can find an array of shoes, sneakers, bags and accessories by the designer in a 1,800 square foot premises designed for the brand by New York architects 212box, the same architects responsible for Christian Louboutin stores worldwide. On this London through-fare, Christian Louboutin will be rubbing shoulders with brands like A.P.C, Vanessa Bruno, McQ, Acne and Dover Market Street, the multi-brand retailer from Comme des Garçons.

The very first – rather small - Christian Louboutin men’s store opened in Paris in 2011, right next to the brands atelier and store on rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau. An increase in demand for the designer’s shoes saw a new store opening in New York in August, soon to be followed by a boutique in Los Angleses, not far from the brand flagship store.
