Christian Louboutin on shoes, time travel and his iPhone addiction
Last Friday, we got down (and by that, we mean sat in the same room) with the legend that is Christian Louboutin. With arguably the most rhymed-about named in footwear, Louboutin built his red soled empire from the ground up to where it is now: worth $85 million. Like any designer worth his salt, Louboutin bears no resemblance to a business man when you meet him IRL. Instead, he’s a quirky Frenchman who can as easily wax poetic about seeing his shoes in a retrospective exhibit at Toronto’s Design Exchange as he can about eating fast food. Before the designer met with hundreds of fans at Holt Renfrew’s (he signed shoes for over 4 hours!), we chatted for a way less amount of time in the comfort of the store’s private shopping suites. Here are just a few of the gems.
