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.

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
I prefer girls to wear dresses because I like how they influence a woman's body language. I also love skirts. One of my favorite pieces of clothing is the pencil skirt because it obliges the wearer to have a pretty attitude. I like anything that shows a woman's legs because I love to see her skin and how she walks.

I'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men.
Christian Louboutin
I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.
Christian Louboutin
I never had a plan. I have to say, I'm very shocked when people start a company and say, 'In five years I want to launch a perfume, or in 10 years I want to have this.' How can you know?
Christian Louboutin
I have this disease that if I feel good somewhere, I... buy a house.
Christian Louboutin
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.

Everyone has their dates. For me, it's 1991. I can place every memory of my life either before or after this date. It's the year I became an adult. My mother died, and I created my company shortly thereafter. I definitely would not have done it if she hadn't passed away.

I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
Christian Louboutin
When I started to work on perfume, I could not reduce the idea of a woman to one smell.
Christian Louboutin
I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time.
Christian Louboutin
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.

A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.
Christian Louboutin
I am more feminist than feminists.
Christian Louboutin
My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.
Christian Louboutin
My mother was a huge influence on me - she was a free spirit and helped me appreciate, from a very early age, that everyone is different.
Christian Louboutin
I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.
Christian Louboutin
I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.
Christian Louboutin
I was the youngest kid. When I was five, my sisters were 17, 19, and 21, already becoming women. I would see how different they would be around one another and around men, even my father.
Christian Louboutin
A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.
Christian Louboutin
I'm very detail oriented. Everything that takes a lot of dedication and creativity I do in the morning when there is light and I'm really concentrated.
