Christian Louboutin spring collection

The name Christian Louboutin is acclaimed in the most exclusive circles. His shoes are worn on some of the world's most glamorous feet - Princess Caroline of Monaco, Madonna, Diane von Furstenberg, Catherine Deneuve and countless Hollywood A-listers. At just 30 years of age he is already a familiar figure in the world of fashion. Indeed, few have soared as quickly - and to such heights - as Christian Louboutin. Unknown four years ago, his name is now mispronounced in virtually every language by the swarms of elegant women who, from New York to Paris, Singapore to Monte Carlo, make and destroy reputations. He has a boutique in Paris and another in New York, stacks of press articles and legions of imitators, though what makes his shoes instantly recognizable - besides their exquisite quality, fine craftsmanship, sexy high heels and quirky designs - is the vibrant red sole that has become his trademark. His shoes speak of the soul and the siren of romantic Paris and are the knockout touch to the most stunning couture outfit.
