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?

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.
Christian Louboutin
Nothing needs to be perfect to be good, and no one should need to feel perfect to feel right
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 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!

Passage Vero-Dodat - I started my company on this passage. It feels as much home as it can!
Christian Louboutin
I am more feminist than feminists.

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.

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.

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.

I remain faithful to bourbon sour. It's absolutely delicious. You'd have to ask a bartender what's in it, but I think if you know you might never have a drink. I also love a little rum, 7 years aged, brown, when it is chilly, before dinner.
Christian Louboutin
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
Christian Louboutin
If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.
Christian Louboutin
One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you're walking in heels, you've got time. It's much more attractive.
Christian Louboutin
Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.
Christian Louboutin
I'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men.
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
Shoes are just a pedestal. What interests me is the power of the woman who wears them.
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
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
The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men just don't have.
