Louboutin can trace back his original creative “click.”


Louboutin can trace back his original creative “click.”
“As a child, I was taken to the musée des océans, and I saw a sign of a stiletto with two thick lines through it - and it haunted me,” says Louboutin, claiming that his schoolbooks were filled with drawings of the “no stiletto heels in here” sign. The images of Helmut Newton and the wild clubbing years in the 1980s at the Paris Le Palace cemented his fascination with shoes. Maybe it is significant that, apart from the splash of vermilion, the colors tend to be rich purples, smoky blues and moss greens, as if captured in Toulouse-Lautrec’s night world.
But Louboutin also makes daywear, from calf-hugging flat boots to platform-soled espadrilles that he encourages summer brides to wear, rather than spindly heels in which they cannot dance the night away.
“Luxury should not be Christian Louboutin Pumps,” he says, referring to women’s freedom. “My idea of progress is to make shoes not higher, but ever finer.”
