20 years of louboutin

The first UK retrospective of Christian Louboutin's couture footwear has finally opened at the Design Museum in London.  The collection showcases the artistry and creativity behind Louboutin's iconic red soled footwear which have captivated a nation of fashion lovers such as myself.  The glimmer of the much coveted red sole always sends my heart a-fluttering and owning a pair of Louboutins has most definitely become a right of passage amongst many fashion circles.  This must help explain why he manages to sell more than 600,000 shoes a year.
