Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin is a French fashion designer whose famously high-end footwear incorporates signature, shiny red-lacquered soles. Initially a freelance designer for top couture houses like Charles Jourdan and Roger Vivier, Louboutin opened his own Parisian shoe salon in 1991 with Princess Caroline of Monaco as his first customer. His bold and rebellious, yet glamorous designs quickly found favor with celebrity clientele, including the likes of Diane von Fürstenberg, Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Cardi B. Today, Louboutin is a household name, and continues to dominate luxury high fashion as one of the most prestigious and sought after brands in the world.
