The demonic image of the evil Maleficent did not leave indifferent many of the world’s designers and makeup artists – like MAC and Stella Mccartney to name a few- so they created gorgeous collections inspired by the heroine of the fantasy blockbuster, beautiful Angelina Jolie. For the premiere of the movie, Louboutin, in collaboration with the actress, launched “Malangeli“, a made-to-measure range of shoes, in limited edition, which can be ordered in the five Christian Louboutin boutiques around the world, starting October 20 – Paris, New York, Hong Kong, California and London.
Designed with a sculpted heel resembling fire and smoke, on a nude mesh base, and of course, with the French designer’s iconic red sole, each pair of shoes was made by hand in the studio of Christian Louboutin in Paris – this explains the price also ( in UK the shoes will retail at £950 ), and will be sold on a pre-ordered basis only.
The profits from the sale will go to the aid of one of the largest charity – “SOS – Children’s Village” – dedicated to abandoned and orphaned children which has been supported by mother-of-six Jolie since 2003.
About the collaboration with Jolie, Louboutin says : “ It is exciting to work with someone who has such a strong aesthetic and character. Getting to know Angelina through a fun collaboration has been one of my greatest pleasures!”
I want a pair for myself!

An elaborate but nonetheless feminine heel design in this beautiful line of heels designed by Christian Louboutin and Angelina Jolie.
Once having the privilege to purchase said shoe, now I thought ridiculous until I read that charity was included. Giving feels much better than five inch heels. They do make your legs look kick ass though!
