About this person
Born 7 January 1964, Louboutin came up as a freelance designer working for other fashion houses before opening his own shoe salon in Paris. The shiny red-lacquered sole became his signature, and celebrity clients followed. The company expanded beyond women's stilettos into men's luxury footwear, handbags, fragrances, and makeup. Along the way he partnered on limited edition pieces, gallery exhibits, and a custom bar - each project carrying that same lacquered calling card.
