Paris shoe expression: Christian Louboutin the art of the high heel

Christian Louboutin is the French designer behind the world-known red soles, spindly and towering heels. Louboutin's passion for footwear design has begun while he was an intern at the legendary cabaret; he was impressed watching the showgirls managing to dance in high heels while wearing huge headdresses.  Louboutin gained experience by working as a women's shoes designer for fashion houses such as Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. The designer helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 90s by designing 5 inches heels and higher. Louboutin's signature red-bottoms high heels were considerate dangerously tall at the time. However, by today's standards it is considered relatively low and his current heels are even taller.  Christian Louboutin shoe line includes wedges, platforms, boots, booties, stilettos and pumps. The quality of the production allows the brand to create high heels that are strong enough to support the body's weight.
