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.

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
High heels empower women in a way.
Christian Louboutin
What was called extreme 20 years ago definitely isn't extreme anymore. When I started, I remember people saying, 'Oh my God, I can't walk in that!' It was like, three inches - they look like kitten heels now.
Christian Louboutin
I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
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.
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
'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 good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.
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 really wish I had invented the flip-flop. I love flip-flops. It's the one style of shoe I would be so proud of inventing: the Havaiana.

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.

There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.
Christian Louboutin
To me, the word 'decadent' is so difficult to use it's a very sensitive word, in a way.
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
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place. It's like voodoo we don't want things that are soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. I adore life, and I'm very easygoing - and it shows in my work.
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.

Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.
Christian Louboutin
I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!
Christian Louboutin
I buy Dries van Noten shoes. I love his clothes, too.
Christian Louboutin
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!

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.
