Barracks, Burlesque & Louboutins

Attention: all shoe lovers and fashionistas

The Barracks, Palace Cinemas and Dress for Success Brisbane are partnering to celebrate all things stiletto with a movie and cocktail party to be held on Tuesday, 16 April 2013 (05:45 for 06:00pm). The evening will begin with a French themed cocktail party with canapés and wine, followed by an exclusive screening of Christian Louboutin’s film Feu which was a hit at the French Film Festival.

Christian Louboutin, the celebrated designer behind the world-famous line of red-soled shoes, has teamed up with the legendary French cabaret institution, Crazy Horse Paris, to create FEU by Christian Louboutin.  Literally translated as ‘fire’, this filmed version of a live production is a sizzling collection of tableaux, mixing erotic cabaret with music, dance, masterpiece paintings, space-age chic and, of course, some seriously stylish footwear.

FEU by Christian Louboutin is the result of a unique collaboration between Louboutin, costumer Mark Fast and Crazy Horse choreographer, Patricia Folly. The music is by renowned filmmaker David Lynch and Swiss musician Swizz Beatz.  Fans of either French cultural icons – Louboutin or Crazy Horse Paris – will love this irreverent, surreal and saucy show, screening in eye-popping 3D.

All proceeds from the evening will go to help raise funds for Dress for Success Brisbane. Dress for Success Brisbane is a charity dedicated to promoting the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, networks of support and career development tools to help women into the workforce.

Fabulous raffle prizes have been donated by various retailers and sponsors.  Our feature item up for auction on the night is a pair of the Christian Louboutin ‘Bandra’ shoes in Violet Suede, size 38, a classic Louboutin style. This item is valued at $1,150 and has been kindly donated by Jean Brown.

Come along and join us for what will be a fantastic evening and support a worthwhile cause.
