Artisan Highlight: Christian Louboutin in his Paris home as featured on the Selby

January 17, 2013

Does your heart flutter at the sight of a pair of red soled shoes?

I’m not a shoe gal (handbags really make my heart and wallet swoon) and wondered if those crimson soled shoes were worth it. Ā But I have to admit that there is something sensual and elegant about the little peek of red. Ā I have also heard of a few more comfortable styles (the simple tops the list) so I may just have to invest in a pair or two.

I also find the man behind the brand intriguing, quirky, and completely in love with his work. Ā I saw his interview on the Selby here and was fascinated by his passion for shoes (he sketched his first pair at 12 years old!) and his beautiful Parisian home. Ā He obviously has a love for design, luxury, and beauty. Ā Isn’t that something all of us would want? Oh and what a wonder to be able to create such beauty every day!

Here are a few favorite pictures from the shoot and the interview:

    I’m probably more of a handbag girl too, but my heart still does a flutter for some red soles šŸ™‚

    Christian Louboutin’s shoes are absolutely amazing. I am in love with the first pair you posted. I don’t own any myself , but March (and my bonus season) are around the corner. I’m determined to get a pair this year. I read an article about CL in The New Yorker awhile back. I love how quirky and passionate he is about his work.

      Kim, I can’t wait to see your pair of splurge shoes! Your Valentino shoes are still some of my favorite shoes!

    I loved reading this interview, its the first time I am hearing of it, I also wonder if the price attached to a pair is worth it…maybe if wearing it felt like a walking on air, just maybe…

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living January 17, 2013 at 21:38

      Unfortunately, I don’t think it is like walking on air but I do hear a few of the styles are more comfortable. Women just pair for the red heel and the luxurious touches!

    The red soles get me EVERY SINGLE TIME. So sexy.

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living January 17, 2013 at 21:37

      Seriously, is there a more sexy sole? I’ll probably make the splurge some day!

    Christian Louboutin is such a delight because he’s so passionate about shoes. His home looks amazing and I bet his atelier is even more so.

    I don’t own any Christian Louboutin’’s and really don’t spend a lot on shoes, but maybe someday I’ll splurge! That first pair is awesome!

    • Chic 'n Cheap Living January 17, 2013 at 21:36

      Yes the more I look at them, the more I think I will make the splurge some day as well!

    I’ve certainly never tried a pair on, but they are quite the status symbol, aren’t they?
    If I could actually wear them, then maybe some day I’d consider investing in a pair.
