Christian Louboutin |
He was born in 1964 in Paris. As a child, he was fascinated by ladies shoes and by the time he reached his teens, Louboutin was sketching shoe designs in his school books.
In 1975, whilst visiting the African and Oceanic Art Museum, Louboutin noticed a sign forbidding entrly to women in stilettos to prevent damage to the wooden flooring. the sign showed a woman's stietto shoe with a thorn-like heel slashed with a red line and this image made an impression on the young Louboutin.
