More quotes by 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 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.

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.

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.'

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 core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.

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.

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.

I am very bad at drawing. Seriously. I can draw shoes. That's about it.
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
A good shoe is one that doesn't dress you but undresses you.

Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.

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.

I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent

I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.

High heels are pleasure with pain.
Christian Louboutin
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?

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