Décolleté Condora 85 in vernice.

In the eighties, he worked as an apprentice at major high-fashion maisons, collaborating with designers such as Charles Jourdan and later with Roger Vivier, considered one of the masters of the modern shoe. These experiences allowed him to refine his technique and develop a personal style.

In 1991, he opened his first boutique in Paris. The following year, the idea that would make him world-famous was born: while watching an assistant apply red nail polish, he decided to paint the sole of a shoe in the same color. That detail transformed a simple model into a symbol of luxury, sensuality, and exclusivity. The red sole soon became the brand's distinctive trademark.

Louboutin's creations quickly won over celebrities, actresses, and members of royal families. His shoes have been worn by stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, and Sarah Jessica Parker, contributing to his international fame.

In addition to women's footwear, the brand has expanded its offering to include men's shoes, bags, accessories, and beauty products. Christian Louboutin is also known for the legal protection of his iconic red sole, successfully defended in numerous international disputes.
