Yet what really makes his shoes special is the RED SOLE. It is believed like all good designers Christian Louboutin knew there was something missing in his shoe designs..... and looking over at his assistance red nail polish sparked his most successful design decision. They say that good design comes from everyday living and that surely was the case for him.
As we flick through the pages of fashion magazines we see celebrities wearing beautiful shoes, but what we really NEED to see is if the sole is red. Yes the sight of a red sole indicates - I am wearing my Louboutins.
I wonder if Christian Louboutin had knowledge of the colour red, I am sure he did. His inspirations for his shoes come from the feminine figure and the influence of burlesque dancing. No other colour on the sole would mean fire, passion, desire, and love like red does.
Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage.

Christian has never marketed his brand. It hasn't been necessary - thanks to the red-lacquered soles which have made them instantly recognisable the world over.
To celebrate his 20 years of success his shoes are on exhibition from 1st may till the 9th July in London.
