Christian Louboutin Introduces Their First App for iPhone and iPod Touch

by

While some luxury labels shy away from social media, Christian Louboutin recently introduced their first global application for both iPhones and the iPod Touch. This launch is a groundbreaking digital base point for Louboutin lovers, providing endless, attainable brand information.

The app, available for free at the App Store, opens with the signature flash of luxe red before users are welcomed to interact via six different platforms: The Collection, 20 Ans, The Wish List, The Store Locator, News and Videos.

The Collection, for example, offers fans the chance to browse the seasonal collection, exploring shoes and bags in detail. Users can share favorites with friends via Twitter and Facebook. While 20 Ans enables users to view the full set of sketches of the 20th Anniversary Capsule Collection. Watch as mere ideas transform to full-fledged realized shoe.

Mix, match and always play just as the designer himself would love you to!

“Apps,” or application software, are designed to aid users in specific tasks. The majority of the time, when referencing apps, we are referring to the programs made specifically for our mobile phones. As our phones become sophisticated, naturally so do the applications.

ShoeDish is the first product-based application dedicated solely to shoes.

2. Emergency Medical Center Locator (EMCL) is an application designed to save your life, literally. The EMCL app directs you to the closest medical center in time of dire emergency, while also targeting the best-qualified care for your specific emergency.
