Christian Louboutin, French shoe designer, born in 1963. His designs are recognizable not only for sophistication or luxury, but more for their signature red undersole. At an early age in 1979, Louboutin was walking alongside the streets of Paris, he noticed a billboard in front of the Museum of Oceanic Art , that instructed women tourists not to scratch the wooden floors.

Louboutin felt bothered by this sign and, as a consequence, he would draw shoes with compressed buckles and with soles. He admits to having spent a lot of time as a teenager drawing these types of shoes in his school notebooks. These shoes would become the base of Louboutin's sales as a designer.
Louboutin began attending parties and dance halls in Paris, offering his shoes to the women. Most rejected his shoes, claiming to have no money.
