Christian Louboutin

After years developing his craft working for the likes of Charles Jourdan, Roger Vivier, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Vogue, Paris-born shoemaker Christian Louboutin established his eponymous label in 1992. The iconic Louboutin red lacquered sole, an idea inspired by an assistant applying red nail polish, instantly became the label’s signature. The coveted “Louboutins” have since solidified his notoriety as one of today’s leading luxury designers. Along with an impressive roster of creative partnerships, including a collaboration with filmmaker and artist David Lynch, the heritage brand has expanded to include a sweeping range of men’s footwear and accessories. With eclectic offerings from calfskin pouches and keyrings to redolent fragrances and cosmetics, the Christian Louboutin label reaffirms a timeless vision of glamour keenly attuned to the ages.
