Louboutin anniversary: pill bag among highlights of capsule collection

As he celebrates his 20th anniversary with a special capsule collection, French creator Christian Louboutin has shown his sense of humor by including a “Pilule” bag shaped as an actual capsule.

Giving a new meaning to the term doctor’s bag, the shiny blue and white pill capsule even has "500 mg" stamped in red on the side, and is just one of many standout pieces from the celebratory range comprising 20 shoes and six bags inspired by his best work over the past two decades.

The collection will first hit European cities including Paris and London February 27, with a pop-up shop at department store Selfridges selling the line in the UK capital.

Fashionistas can sign up to receive email invites to shop the line on Louboutin’s soon-to-launch website by registering on Facebook.

Other events to honor Louboutin’s landmark year include a retrospective exhibition at London's Design Museum which opens this March. The designer has also collaborated with prestigious Parisian cabaret venue Le Crazy Horse, directing four original tableaux which will preview March 4.
