Have you strolled down the main floor of Barneys recently? Christian Louboutin consumes the majority of the shoes floor. Louboutin's red sole can be seen on the feet of socialites, supermodels, to the glamour girls strolling down fifth avenue.
The Fashion Institute of Technology dedicated it's museum halls to the man with the "red sole" for an exhibit earlier this year. Oprah Winfrey dedicated a segment of her show to introduce Louboutin's line to her eighth million viewers.
What I love most about Christian is the fact that he's such a simple man, even in the complexity by which his mind works. The man doesn't own a television and he rarely reads magazines. You can find him on his vespa strolling the streets of Jean-Jacques Rousseau where his boutique is located.
Louboutin's direction is always a concept gravitated upon by shoemakers everywhere, you can find knockoff versions of his work in places such as aldo, ninewest and even last year Burberry borrowed his idea for their gladiator heel.
The red sole price ranges from $495 flats to his $7500 mondrian inspired heel for YSL.
If I must say so myself Louboutin has revolutionized the stiletto.
