In 1979, as he was walking in Paris, he noticed a sign warning female
tourists not to scratch the wooden floor in front of the Museum of
Oceanic Art.
Louboutin then attended design schools, such as Chanel’s and Saint Laurent’s schools for design.
Louboutin opened his first boutique shop in Paris; his store became
known not only because of his affluent clientele, but because he served
free espresso to his visitors. American companies like Neiman Marcus
began to sell Louboutin’s designs.
Louboutin’s trademark red leather soles actually stemmed from an idea from one of his employees. During a runway show Louboutin felt the shoe was missing something and saw that one of his employees had red Chanel nail polish on, and instantly, he felt that it would complete the shoe if he painted it on the sole. Since then it became the signature of his shoes.
Louboutin is now a well known designer around the world. He has been
interviewed by fashion reporters such as Jacques Brunel. He includes
Princess Caroline of Monaco and Catherine Deneuve among his friends.
Louboutin felt bothered by this sign and, as a
consequence, he began designing women’s shoes with compressed buckles
and soft soles. He now admits having had a small obsession as a teenage,
spending a lot of time drawing shoes in his school notebooks which
would meet the entrance criteria for the Museum. These designs would
later become the basis for Louboutin’s sales as a designer.
Louboutin attended parties in Paris, attempting to sell his designs
and creations to the women in attendance. Most rejected his shoes,
claiming to have no money or unable to afford his designs.Louboutin then attended design schools, such as Chanel’s and Saint Laurent’s schools for design.

to be seen wearing them to events, and during her recent Back To Basics

to Mariah Carey are all fans of Christian Louboutin shoes and many
celebrities are now choosing his shoes as their red carpet accessories. Angelina Jolie has
favoured his designs on almost all red carpet appearances. In her new
movie ‘Wanted’ Angelina Jolie dons a pair as the assassin ‘fox’, these
beige round-toed louboutins are from her personal collection.

the distinctive soles are plainly visible when she dances on the piano.
