Inside la Maison Christian Louboutin
Welcome to the world of Christian Louboutin, the sanctuary of the iconic red sole.
Christian Louboutin: The man behind the Maison
Born in Paris and raised among three sisters, Christian grew up fascinated by femininity — a living work of art to be exalted.
At the age of ten, he encountered a pictogram banning high heels to protect museum floors. His destiny was sealed.
By sixteen, he became an intern at the Folies Bergère, already designing shoes for the cabaret's glittering dancers.
A self-taught apprentice, Christian refined his craft alongside master artisans.
In 1991, driven by a desire for creative freedom, he took flight and opened his very first boutique in Paris. Thus began a legendary tale, written in passionate red ink.
Let your curiosity lead the way and discover the man who painted the fashion world red.
