“It’s a good addition. There are so many bad addictions. Better be addicted to shoes than something else”


The signature red sole:

Similar to the other serendipitous events in Louboutin’s life the famous red sole also came about as an accident. Louboutin was working on a shoe in his studio when he felt something was missing. Louboutin then “realized that the black sole of the shoe was too dark.” A nearby assistant was painting her nails red with Chanel when Louboutin grabbed it, painted the shoes sole red and voilà; the red sole was born.
