Christian Louboutin was created in 1992 when the designer opened his first boutique at 19 Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris. An artist and craftsman with a true passion for shoes, his designs are unique and instantly recognisable, thanks in part to their signature, trademarked red lacquered soles. Christian Louboutin’s collections for both women and men combine wit, glamour, elegance and technical proficiency like none other.
