Celebrating 20 years!
Christian Louboutin created a dangerous drug. A drug that every woman wants to have a dose of and wouldn’t dare ask for a remedy. Once you slip into a pair of Louboutin’s your whole world changes. The red soles cast their wicked spell and you’re instantly hooked. Something of an alchemist, Christian Louboutin, knows how to transform women into a flirtatious creature with a peep of a step that is guaranteed to have you a showstopper.
Women are known for forking over their entire savings, rent, and even go to prison for a pair of Loubi’s. In a interview with Marie Claire, Louboutin, revealed that he’s met a woman in Dallas, whose been arrested for embezzling money from her companies account to her personal Neiman Marcus account enable to afford her Louboutins! Crazzzzzzzzzy!
This year Christian Louboutin kicked off his 20 year anniversary with a new limited edition collection, book, and some illustrations (for the people who can’t afford a pair of his luxurious stilettos to dwell on). In lieu of my own celebration of Christian Louboutin’s 20 years of hard work, I’d like to share some of my favorite parts in Marie Claire’s interview with the wizard himself.
MC: What do you look at first on a woman?
CL: For me, it’s a game. When I see someone, I don’t look at her shoes but rather at her face, then her clothes. Then I guess what she’ll be wearing on her feet. When I finally check, I’m often completely shocked!
MC: Why are women so obsessed with shoes?
CL: When a woman buys shoes, she takes them out of the box and looks at herself in the mirror. But she isn’t really looking at her shoes - she’s looking at herself. If she likes herself, then she likes the shoes. A man is a fetishist: He polishes his shoes, appreciates the finish, wants to preserve them for a long time. A woman doesn’t care about this. She isn’t proud of having a shoe of 10 years. It’s natural feminine instinct to accessorize. A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.
MC: … Who are some of your muses?
CL: I’ve always adored women in heels. As a boy, I loved music halls, girls, feathers, and performers. I adored Tina Turner. I remember the arrival of Blondie - Debbie Harry was a bleached blonde who wore heels and was a real musician. Hallelujah!
MC: Do you prefer heels or flats?
CL: High heels, by far. I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They’re far from natural, but it’s the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.
MC: Why are high heels so sexy?
CL: One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you’re walking in heels, you’ve got time. It’s much more attractive.
