The introduction For Christian Louboutin,
Cartier Le Baiser du Dragon Charm Necklace
As a child,
Cartier Earring in Stainless Steel with Rose Gold Plated and Dii, Louboutin would regularly sneak out of school, from the age of 12,

He cites this as his main inspiration for becoming a shoe designer: "[The showgirls] influenced me a lot. If you like high heels, it's really the ultimate high heel - it's all about the legs, how they carry themselves, the embellishment of the body. They are the ultimate icons." Although Louboutin faced much opposition following his decision to leave school so early, he claims that his resolve was strengthened after watching an interview on TV with Sophia Loren in which she introduced her sister, saying she had to leave school when she was only 12 but when she turned 50 she got her degree. "Everybody applauded! And I thought, 'Well,

Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72?inches) and higher. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look ######y, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.” While he does offer some lower-heeled styles,

Louboutin received inspiration for his lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early 20s. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign forbidding women wearing sharp stilettos from entering for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind,

Branded genuine Louboutin shoes are sold through various luxury goods retailers such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and net-a-porter in the UK and Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus,
