All it took was a sign for Christian Louboutin to find his passion. While visiting a museum a sign on the outside of the entrance read, “High heel shoes are not permitted”. He had never seen and shoe like that and soon he became infatuated with creating his own designs. Christian learned all there was to know about shoes while working at a cabaret, he was in charge of designing shoes for the dancers, and at the time it was a dream job for him. His creativity flowed through each design, but soon it was clear that it was time to move on. From there he took his skills and landed a job with Charles Jourdan, a French fashion designer that is best known for his designs of women’s shoes. After about a year of working as a freelance designer for Jourdan, Christian again made a big decision to move forward in his own personal journey and opened up a shop in Paris, the fashion capital of the world.
The whirlwind began with the sole, the sole of a shoe that is and a simple nail color. While sitting next to his assistant who was painting her nails a glossy red he had a thought, that thought was to make the outer soles of his shoes red for the season. Suddenly the shoes with the red bottoms were more than just the fad of the season. Customers began asking him to not stop, the red bottoms of shoes became and iconic symbol attracting the like of Princess Caroline of Manoca and the ever popular Madonna, strutting in his sky high stilettos during her music videos.
The demand of Christian Louboutin shoes has not faded away. They have become a symbol in the fashion world, a mere glimpse of the the red sole screams only one name “Louboutin”. Ranging anywhere form $400 to $6,000 dollars, these shoes are not modest in price nor design, yet there is an appeal that is undeniable and goes deeper than just the color of the iconic red sole.

Before Alexander McQueen started his own fashion line, he was known for his work in the fashion houses of Louis Vuitton and Givenchy. However McQueen found himself not fitting into the mold for these prestigious designer brands. His designs were something you could call “out of the box” they were something that had never been seen before. McQueen knew he was different but instead of hiding his unique style he set out to make his own brand.
