| Christian Louboutin's Signature Shoe Has Made Him an Icon
Even Barbie dolls have their own custom mini-sized Louboutins. This month, Louboutin celebrates his 20th anniversary with a new self-titled book, published by Rizzoli. It's an ode to his outrageous shoes. His next project -- a line of red-soled shoes for men,roger vivier sale, is due out next spring. Christian Louboutin at his atelier.

He makes no apologies for those sky-high prices either -- Louboutins can sell from $495 and up, with crystal-encrusted pair costing $6,000. "I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine," Louboutin said. "These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time." While fashion overrides comfort for Louboutin -- many of his shoes are seven-inch high heels -- the designer says he has a very specific customer in mind when he sketches a shoe. "It's sort of you know it's a sort of expression. I like my customer to be fierce," he said. This fashion icon said that his obsession with high-heeled shoes started on a visit to a Paris museum in 1976,giuseppe zanotti sandals. "It was a forbidden sketch." From then on, the young designer started sketching shoes any chance he got, including during his studies. He was expelled from school at age 16. "I was always shouted at by my teacher because I would draw straight on the table in the school,roger vivier sale," he said. He left home, studying design by day and spending his nights as a freelance shoe designer in Paris, making shoes for burlesque show girls and working with shoe designer Charles Jourdan before starting his own company in 1989. Then, three years later, the prototype of a shoe he created came in, but seemed to be lacking something. "I had a girl working with me, trying on the shoes," Louboutin said. "So when she was not trying on shoes, she sort of had nothing to do,roger vivier pumps, so she was sort of waiting, and, so she was doing her nails, at that time. and I thought, why, this black has to be the red! So I grabbed her nail polish,roger vivier online, and painted the soles." It was then that his signature red sole was born. Today, he sells more than 650,000 pairs a year. For some, money is no object. Louboutin said one customer commissioned him to make a shoe for his wife with rubies all over the sole. "I said, 'well, but, you know, once you have the weight of the person, you realize that it's going to pop off,' the designer explained. "'He said,cheap giuseppe zanotti, there won't be any weight,Roger vivier flats, and it will not be worn,parajumpers vest outlet, I tell you,Roger vivier, it will not be worn in that, um, kind of, it will only be worn in a horizontal way.'" 相关的主题文章： http://www.rakenbymd.fora.pl/coke-from-waits-poker-onnie-mentioned-fantasy-casino-shoots-you-held-his-anything,1/essential-shoes-for-your-wardrobe,4272.html#4300 http://www.guardiansofgrail.fora.pl/buy-sell-switch,18/fort-mcdowell-american-native-indians-community-fo,6459.html#6635 http://www.glucophagebcabs.fora.pl/bayard-had-the-fly-not-talk-eed-some-sprinkler,1/annie-freeman-s-fabulous-traveling-funeral,4179.html#4199 http://www.jenniferboylan.net/paranormal/showthread.php?p=2688988#post2688988 http://www.th3gimp.fora.pl/prosby-i-zlecenia,7/isabel-marant-debuts-first-graphics-strategy,4077.html#4087 http://www.compassionforgreyhounds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14573#14573 http://lavarsicious.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=159310 http://www.firoolink.com/index.php?do=/blog/107929/bata-to-close-remaining-stores-in-canada/ http://www.diprolenezkxei.fora.pl/alfie-there-teeth-bared-remember-that-thing-felt-comment,1/slippers-that-make-my-feet-happy,13222.html#13438 http://www.aceon.fora.pl/buy-aceon-cheap-aceon-buy-aceon-online,1/athletic-shoes-in-a-womens-shoes-size-11,3805.html#3827 http://www.miralaxhffwz.fora.pl/raina-propped-why-lsd-stays-in-the-body-cradled-the-hey-mean-addiction-recovery-forum-adderall-addiction-wisdom,1/country-specific-most-wives-fashion,12944.html#13126 http://avgadultgamers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=202273 http://www.semper.fora.pl/public-questions-to-our-ally,1/how-to-tell-if-your-sneaker-fits,3742.html#5414 http://www.darknessevolution.fora.pl/event-discussions,8/nike-t90-soccer-cleats-101,61061.html#69623 http://www.forumkbk.fora.pl/informacje,2/us-dock-workers-threatened-strike-puts-economy,4650.html#4852 |
