From My Soul to Your Sole, love Christian...

Honestly, as if the red sole was not enough, Christian blings the top of the shoe for his Mens Spring/Summer 2010 Shoe Collection. He focused on silver-toned spikes. A bold line he drew between ladies and mens shoe designs. Red Sole vs Spikes.

Most people aren't aware that he also designs Mens shoes and not only the famous red sole stilettos. The spikey design has been referred to by many as some form of tribute to the late pop King, Michael Jackson. Pharell Williams, Swiss Beatz and Reggie Bush are a few regulars spotted wearing these spikey designs.

Since brogues are the latest buzz with the ladies out there, its only fair to see a few brave it and pull these flats off, like the lady shown above. There's something about Christian's designs, something sexy, edgy and bold, for both women and men.

Christian Louboutin used to design shoes with blue soles in the beginning for a short period of time. These were only available on special orders though. Their production came to an end due to trademark issues.
He worked with Roger Vivier, the father and creator of stilettos, a man who has designed shoes for Queen Elizabeth II, Christian Dior (10years), and The Beatles. We can only thank the heavens he decided to get back in the game after he took a break from working with Roger Vivier in 1982 and decided to go work as a landscape designer before he returned with his own line in 1992.

This 46 year old has a fetish like no other. Christian collects books and colourful ties that he doesn't wear, ever. The simple but pedantic designer has a final say as to what all his stores look like, his own personal touch.

“I prefer shoes that undress to shoes that dress, a successful shoe is a shoe that accentuates nudity. The woman remains entirely nude when she wears those shoes. The shoe becomes the privilege of nudity.” - Christian Louboutin
