When we say high heels, you think Louboutin. When we say Louboutin, you think sexy, super high, unreasonable, but also painful. Who better than doctor Christian Louboutin to heal his killer heels?
High heels are more than shoes: they flatter the legs, arch the back and turn women into feline Goddesses of infinite sexual power. There is something crazy and irrational about high heels. For some men and women, they have become a real obsession, and that’s not even to mention fetishism.
Christian Louboutin is surely the designer who understands best this craziness. His heels will literally kill you, but as we know: pretty hurts. The least Louboutin could do to make it right, is playing doctor!

Louboutin’s World
“I want to make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as I can.”
Christian Louboutin
Christian Louboutin, born in 1963, is a French footwear designer. His signature is his famous incorporated shiny, red-lacquered sole. Louboutin launched his brand in 1991 and brought the stilettos back into fashion. And when we say stilettos, we are talking about 120mm-high heels.
He now designs shoes for both men and women. Don’t freak out guys, yours are flat! Louboutin boutiques are popping up all around the world. He has topped the Luxury Institute’s annual Luxury Brand Status Index for three years and the brand was declared the Most Prestigious Women’s Shoes in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
There is so much more to say about high heels and Louboutin’s world that we could dedicate a whole issue to it. And so we did: check out our Masters Of Fashion Volume 35 Part II.
