Title Brief Biography
Date: July 12th, 2012
1964 - Christian Louboutin is born and brought up in Paris’s 12th arrondissement.
1975 – On the wall of the African and Oceanic art Museum, Louboutin is struck by a strange drawing: a
woman’s shoe with a sharp heel, slashed-out with a red line.
1980-1986 – Louboutin’s first job is at the Folies Bergères, the famous French Music Hall. He follows this
apprenticeship by freelancing for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Maud Frizon and other prestigious fashion
houses.
1989 – Louboutin turns to garden design.
1992 – Creation of the Christian Louboutin brand, and opening of the first boutique in Paris.
1994 – Opening of the first New York City boutique.
1995 – For Jean-Paul Gaultier, Chloé, Azzaro, Diane Von Furstenberg, Victor & Rolf, Givenchy and Lanvin,
Louboutin starts to contribute for couture and ready-to-wear seasons.
1996 – Louboutin receives a FFANY Award from the International Fashion Group.
2002 – At Yves Saint Laurent’s farewell haute-couture show, Louboutin creates a shoe for the finale.
Referred to as « Christian Louboutin for Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture 1962-2002», it marks the only
time that Saint Laurent associates his name with another designer. 2007 – Louboutin collaborates with
director David Lynch on the exhibition « Fetish », which shows sexy one-off objects: fetishist shoes,
photographed by Lynch.
2008 – New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology pays a tribute to Louboutin, mounting an important
retrospective of his work. Later that year, Louboutin is the Star Honoree of the Fashion Group International
as well as receiving a second FFANY Award.
Today, the Christian Louboutin brand can be found in 50 eponymous boutiques, over 46 countries and in
world famous department stores like Sak’s, Neiman-Marcus, Barney’s, Harvey Nichol’s, Bergdorf-Goodman,
Joyce, Jeffrey’s… Louboutin also continues to create shoes for young and talented designers. –Excerpt taken
