I perfectly understand the obsession with shoes. I myself am pretty obsessed. I have a few hundred pairs of shoes in general, because I've been collecting shoes for a long time.

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
A lot of women don't like when they're sort of fat, but a fat foot is as beautiful as a skinny foot. Think of Greek statues. Look how many people love the foot of the baby! There is something super-charming about the baby foot.

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.

I wanted to be a shoe designer, but I never thought it could be a profession. But what was the alternative? Doctor? Too dirty! Air-hostess? Maybe not! Then someone gave me a book on Roger Vivier, and, cheri, instantly I knew that was it!

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.

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.

The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable, and the color of passion.
Christian Louboutin
Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.

The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men just don't have.
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
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.
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
Shoes are a mirror of what you want, what you are or what you're missing
Christian Louboutin
Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.
Christian Louboutin
A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.
Christian Louboutin
I listen to my stomach. It tells me when I am starving.
Christian Louboutin
A woman tells a story with her clothes, but it's the shoe that carries her.
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.
Christian Louboutin
Really good shoes have to seduce both men and women.
Christian Louboutin
In designing shoes for myself I'm not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I'm just not thinking of clothes at all. I'm always thinking of a naked woman, actually.
