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.

More quotes by 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?
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
When you are too specific on a target, it can drain you. Ask me where I will be when I am 60, and I will have no answer to give.
Christian Louboutin
I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'
Christian Louboutin
To me, the word 'decadent' is so difficult to use it's a very sensitive word, in a way.
Christian Louboutin
There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.
Christian Louboutin
Passage Vero-Dodat - I started my company on this passage. It feels as much home as it can!
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.
Christian Louboutin
It's a good addition. There are so many bad addictions. Better be addicted to shoes than something else
Christian Louboutin
I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.

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.
Christian Louboutin
Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.
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.
Christian Louboutin
The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.
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
A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.
Christian Louboutin
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
Christian Louboutin
I was always shouted at by my teacher because I would draw straight on the table in the school.
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 pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.
