Something Wicked This Way Comes: Meet Malangeli

Evil Never Looked So Good: Christian Louboutin’s Maleficent-Inspired Heels
If you’re anything like us, you’re spellbound by Christian’s latest,
Malangeli – a heel inspired by the Mistress of All Evil herself,
Disney’s Maleficent – or at least the way Angelina Jolie brought her to
life this summer on the big screen.
The curled heel and nude mesh base hint that something sinister is afoot, but whatever happens next is totally up to you.
Like any good fairy tale, this collaboration comes with a happy
ending: profits from sales benefit the SOS Children’s Villages, the NGO
supported by Jolie, providing stable, loving homes for orphaned and
abandoned children in 133 countries.
A pair this wicked will only last a limited time, so, our advice? Don’t sleep.
Now here's the sort of bad news: A pair will set you back $1,495.
Yeeeah, it's quite a splurge!
But
if you do chose to splash down all that cash you can feel good about it
because most of the profits will be benefiting SOS Children's Village,
an organization close to Jolie's heart that helps orphaned and abandoned
children. Oh, and you better act fast, because the French designer will
only be releasing 96 pairs.
On a pre-order basis, Christian Louboutin is selling the magical
shoes he designed with actress Angelina Jolie for her Maleficent
promotional tour
Christian Louboutin today revealed that the shoes, called Malangeli,
were created in collaboration between the designer and the 39-year-old
actress and will be sold on a made-to-order basis.
Available in the UK by calling Christian Louboutin's Mount Street
store (020 7491 0033), the shoes retail at £950. Profits from sales will
benefit SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest organisation
dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children which has been supported by
mother-of-six Jolie since 2003.
Louboutin was clearly bewitched by his high profile collaborator: "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!!!"
