With funds from two backers, he opened a Paris shoe salon in 1991 with Princess Caroline of Monaco as his first customer. In the late 1980s, he turned away from fashion to become a landscape gardener and to contribute to Vogue but missed working with shoes and set up his company in 1991. Going on to serve as a freelance designer, Louboutin designed women's shoes for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Maud Frizon. Louboutin became an apprentice in Vivier's atelier. Subsequently, Louboutin met Roger Vivier, who claims to have invented the stiletto, or spiked-heel shoe. The effort resulted in employment with Charles Jourdan. Louboutin returned to Paris in 1981, where he assembled a portfolio of drawings of elaborate high heels. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered." įascinated by world cultures, he ran away in his teens to Egypt and also spent a year in India. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. It was there that he saw a sign from Africa forbidding women wearing sharp stilettos from entering a building for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. Louboutin says his fascination with shoes began in 1976 when he visited the Musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie on the avenue Daumesnil. His little formal training included drawing and the decorative arts at the Académie d'Art Roederer. He was also a fixture on the city's party scene alongside Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol. His first job was at the Folies Bergères, the cabaret where he assisted the entertainers backstage. Going through a punk phase, he was in a few films, including the 1979 cult classic Race d'ep and The Homosexual Century, which attracted an English-language audience. Louboutin's passion for designing shoes started at a young age, overshadowing his interest in academics and leading him towards a successful career in fashion. He later remarked, "Everybody applauded! And I thought, Well, at least if I regret it I'm going to be like the sister of Sophia Loren!"Īs a preteen he was one of the "Bande Du Palace", a group of hard-partying teens and preteens that included Eva Ionesco, who was a fixture of the Parisian nightclub Le Palace. She stated that she had to leave school when she was only 12, but got her degree when she was 50.

However, he claims that what helped him make up his mind was an interview on TV with Sophia Loren, in which she introduced her sister. He faced much opposition when he decided to drop out from school. Louboutin was expelled from school three times and then he decided to run away from home at the age of 12, at which point his mother allowed him to move out to live at a friend's house.

But instead of feeling it was terrible and that I was an outsider who had to go and find my real family, I invented my own history, full of characters from Egypt, because I was very into the pharaohs." He discovered that he had Egyptian heritage from his biological father, who had been in a secret relationship with his mother Irene, as revealed by one of his sisters in 2014. My family was very French and so I decided they had probably adopted me. Louboutin said in a 2012 interview that he was "much darker-skinned than everyone else in my family. He was the only son of Roger, a cabinet-maker, and Irene, a homemaker from Brittany.
I must give it five points.Louboutin was born and raised in Paris.
The price/performance ratio is super high. The price is already very good, and the quality is also good. The effect on the feet is also good, and the comfort is first-class. It is very powerful when it is received and delivered, and the shape is more individual. As expected, my friend didn't lie to me, both the quality and the quality are very good, I like this bag very much. The merchant was very enthusiastic and explained a lot to me. One of my best friends referred me to this seller to buy. It is still very powerful to open the express delivery after receiving the goods, and the shape is more individual.
