More quotes by Christian Louboutin
I have this disease that if I feel good somewhere, I... buy a house.
Christian Louboutin
I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
Christian Louboutin
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
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
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
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
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
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
The designer side of me has many ideas on how the shoes or woman should look, but the man is thinking 'would I want to see my girl in those shoes?'
Christian Louboutin
When you do something you love, you have a passion for it. It comes naturally. Staying true to yourself and doing what you love keeps you going...everything else falls into place.
Christian Louboutin
A woman tells a story with her clothes, but it's the shoe that carries her.
Christian Louboutin
'Comfy,' that's one of the worst words! I just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy.
Christian Louboutin
The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.
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.
Christian Louboutin
I listen to my stomach. It tells me when I am starving.
Christian Louboutin
I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.
Christian Louboutin
Men in high heels? That's a prosthesis. But I sympathise. Women have these giant heels. They get taller and taller. The men need help. But a man in heels is ridiculous.
Christian Louboutin
My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.

I have always loved tartans - such an ornamented type of weaving, so vivid in colour, and such a masculine aspect. But actually, I think tartans can be feminine or masculine.
Christian Louboutin
A house is very much like a portrait. I cannot disconnect houses from people. The thought of arrangement, the curves and straight lines. It gives an indication of the character at the heart of it.
