Christian Louboutin

It’s nearly 30 years since the shoe designer set up his business in Paris. In that time, his signature red soles have become one of the most recognisable trademarks in the world, referenced in TV shows and hip hop songs. He sits down with journalist Danielle Radojcin to speak about five objects that inspire him. He talks about his love of Big Little Lies, hanging out with his friend Elizabeth Taylor and his interest in the cross-dressing artist Pierre Molinier. He also discusses the pop star who persuaded him to branch out in to men’s footwear, his thoughts on sneakers, and what makes Paris auction houses special.
