The very first shoes he ever
designed were inspired by the famous image of Diana, Princess of Wales sitting
in front of the Taj Mahal during her visit to India in 1992. “I remember the
picture at the time of Princess Diana and she was looking at her feet and I
thought she looked so sad….It would be nice to have something to make her
smile, when she looked at her feet.” So he made a pair of flat suede pumps with
the word ‘LOVE’ written in his signature red, ‘LO’ on the left foot louboutinoutlet, ‘VE’ on the right.

Homosexual Century, which attracted an English-language audience christian louboutin outlet.
His first job was at the Folies Bergères, the cabaret where he assisted the
entertainers backstage. He was also a fixture on the city’s party scene,

red soles were inspired by an employee’s nail polish, so it’s only fair that

inspired by Kate Moss while he was fitting her for shoes for her wedding celebrations.
The model has countless pairs of his iconic ‘Pigalle’ heels, so Louboutin
