I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.

My business partner gave me a drone, a small helicopter you pilot with an iPhone, and also it has a camera so you can see what it sees on the iPhone. Great fun. I fly it outside in Portugal. It's wonderful to oversee gardens.
Christian Louboutin
People tend to fear the ghosts in their own family. You feel these family curses and think, 'If it happened to my father, it could happen to me.'
Christian Louboutin
I like to undress women - not to dress them. You know, like Manet's 'Olympia' or Helmut Newton's photographs - naked women with shoes. This is what I am trying to do.
Christian Louboutin
I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.
Christian Louboutin
Listen, to appeal to someone else you might put on a pair of shoes that you don't like or a dress you don't like. But there's no way you're going to put on a perfume you don't like it's too personal.
Christian Louboutin
Really good shoes have to seduce both men and women.
Christian Louboutin
People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus.
Christian Louboutin
Funnily enough, the most difficult style to do is the plain pump because it needs to look good on a variety of feet. I compare it to having a good bone structure. Make-up will make you look good, but it helps if you have a good skeleton to begin with.
Christian Louboutin
A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.
Christian Louboutin
I'd already decided I wanted to design shoes after I saw a sign in the Museum of African and Oceanic Art forbidding high heels. Well, who could resist?
Christian Louboutin
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
Christian Louboutin
I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know Vogue existed when I was growing up. Vogue, what is that?
Christian Louboutin
In France you cannot not have lunch. If you stopped the French from having lunch, you will have a second revolution, I can tell you this. Not going to work - it is part of the French privilege.
Christian Louboutin
I am very bad at drawing. Seriously. I can draw shoes. That's about it.
Christian Louboutin
Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.
Christian Louboutin
Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.
Christian Louboutin
I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.
Christian Louboutin
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
Christian Louboutin
I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.
