In 1979, a young man by the name Christian Louboutin was walking alongside the streets of Paris, he noticed a billboard that instructed women tourists not to scratch the wodden floor in front of the Museum of Oceanic Art. Christian 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 notebooks. These shoes would become the base of Louboutin’s sales as a designer.

Today Christian Louboutin has become one of the biggest shoe designers around the globe with costumers known everywhere.
