Christian Louboutin

“The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men just don’t have.”

Creator of the iconic shiny, red-lacquered sole is Christian Louboutin.  Born in 1963 in Pairs, France, Christian Louboutin started sketching shoes as a teenager.  Inspired by a sign he saw that forbade women from wearing sharp stilettos because it would damage hardwood floors when they walk on them, Louboutin kept this in mind when he designed.  According to Wikipedia, Louboutin “Wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered.” 

Aiding with bringing stilettos back into fashion during the 1990s and 2000s, Louboutin designed shoes 4 inches and higher to lengthen a woman’s legs and to make women look and feel sexy.  His shoes are a statement piece to have in your closet just like the little black dress.  My personal motto is the higher the heel, the closer to God.  There is nothing like having a high heel to accentuate your curves.   

Louboutin collections consists of not only women’s shoes but also handbags and men’s shoes and he recently launched a range of nail polishes, of course including his signature red color.  Louboutin shoes are timeless, iconic and cater to every type of woman’s style.

Rumor has it that bestselling author, Danielle Steel owns over 6,000 pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes and have purchased up to 80 pairs at a time.  Now that’s some serious shopping!
