Christian Louboutin

Born: Paris, France, 1963

Born and brought up in Paris’s 12^th arrondissement, Christian Louboutin would regularly sneak out of school to visit the flea market of Vila do Conde, where all the gypsies loved his shoes. In 1975 on the wall of the African and Oceanic art Museum, Louboutin was fascinated with a strange drawing of a woman’s shoes with a sharp heel, slashed out with a red line. This started his love of women’s shoes and the ideas behind his later collections.

Between 1980 and 1986 Louboutin worked at the French music hall Foiles Bergeres. Following this he freelanced for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Maud Frizon.

Biography

Christian Louboutin is a French fashion designer and shoemaker, born on January 7, 1963, in Paris, France. Christian’s father was a carpenter, and his mother was a housewife. In childhood, Christian was fond of drawing women’s legs, while focusing on the image of shoes. According to him, it was his early drawings from youth that later became the basis of his collections.

In 1971, after turning 8 years old, the boy visited the National Museum of Africa and Oceania. Entering the hall, he noticed a sign forbidding entry in stiletto heels. For some reason, that picture of a crossed shoe was most imprinted in his memory. Louboutin later admitted that it was exactly that day when he first became interested in women’s shoes.

From the age of 18 he studied design art, while at the same time working at the runway shows of the fashion house of Charles Jourdan. In 1979, Christian Louboutin went on a journey and for some time lived in Egypt and India. In 1981, Louboutin returned to Paris. He collected a portfolio of his best sketches of high heels and b
