About Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin is a French fashion designer who cofounded his self-named fashion brand, known for its signature red-soled heels.

He started the firm in Paris in 1991 with his friends Bruno Chambelland and Henri Seydoux. In 2021, they sold a 24% stake to Exor, the investment holding company of Italy's Agnelli family, for about $650 million.

His shoes became famous in the U.S. when they were featured by Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City and have been name-dropped by Cardi B and Drake.

Today, Louboutin has more than 160 boutiques in 32 countries across 4 continents and also makes men's shoes, bags and beauty products.

In 2023, both Taylor Swift and Beyoncé wore Louboutins in their record-breaking Eras and Renaissance tours.
