Christian Louboutin adds beauty line, set to launch in 2013

Christian Louboutin -- the king of the red sole -- told Women's Wear Daily in an exclusive interview that he will be entering the beauty category with a collection of products launching late 2013. Other than being slated as a "luxury" product line that will have "global distribution," details on what exactly will be included in the first sampling of Christian Louboutin Beauté are pretty vague.
According to Louboutin, the line "has to mirror the quality of the shoes, of the bags, of all the DNA of the brand" (read: be expensive) and will feature packaging and product as "detail-oriented" as his approach to shoe design.
