The introduction For Christian Louboutin
As a child,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Louboutin would regularly sneak out of school,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from the age of 12,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to watch the showgirls at Paris nightclubs, because he was fascinated by their costumes.
He cites this as his main inspiration for becoming a shoe designer: "[The showgirls] influenced me a lot. If you like high heels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's really the ultimate high heel - it's all about the legs, how they carry themselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the embellishment of the body. They are the ultimate icons." Although Louboutin faced much opposition following his decision to leave school so early,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he claims that his resolve was strengthened after watching an interview on TV with Sophia Loren in which she introduced her sister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying she had to leave school when she was only 12 but when she turned 50 she got her degree. "Everybody applauded,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! And I thought, 'Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at least if I regret it I'm going to be like the sister of Sophia Loren!”
Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72?inches) and higher. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], beautiful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to make her legs look as long as [he] can.” While he does offer some lower-heeled styles, Louboutin is generally associated with his dressier eveningwear designs incorporating bejeweled straps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bows, feathers, patent leather and other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], similar decorative touches.
Louboutin received inspiration for his lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early 20s. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign forbidding women wearing sharp stilettos from entering for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he later used this idea in his designs. "I wanted to defy that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Louboutin has said. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered."
Branded genuine Louboutin shoes are sold through various luxury goods retailers such as Harrods,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Harvey Nichols,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Selfridges and net-a-porter in the UK and Barneys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Saks Fifth Avenue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Nordstrom in the US. Online,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Louboutin brand is under constant attack from fake and knock-off cheaply made versions, often made in China.
Louboutin's own website contains a prominent note stating that they do not sell their products online; and that any other domain name containing the word "Louboutin" is very likely to be selling counterfeit goods.
