The girl above is Tara Haughton. She is sixteen years old. She is also president and CEO of Rosso Solini, a company that makes waterproof, recyclable stickers that affix to the outersoles of your non-Louboutins, which makes them look more like actual Louboutins. The idea is kind of genius. Of course, the company doesn’t just make red soles, as some people who aren’t obsessed with branding may too want to embellish and personalize their shoes.
StyleList spoke with Haughton about the origins of the idea:
“Last summer we were away at a family wedding in Spain and for a group photo, we had to throw red confetti. And where I had taken the price sticker off my shoe was still sticky and when I threw it up, it got stuck to the bottom of my shoe. And later that night a woman asked me if was I wearing Louboutin’s because she had seen the flash of red as I was walking.”
A good idea is a good idea. Unfortunately, if you happen to like Tara’s, you should stock up now before therecently litigious house of Christian Louboutin catches wind and puts an abrupt stop to Tara’s operation. We see a cease and desist in her future…
