Christian Louboutin launched his namesake label in 1991 after working as a freelance shoe designer for some of the top French fashion houses. His now-iconic red-soled shoes, handcrafted in Italy, made their debut in Paris and were an instant hit in Hollywood and with trendsetting royals. An A-list favorite to this day, the label has taken its bold glamour beyond sophisticated heels to include sneakers, handbags, beauty and men's shoes. Louboutin's men's collection includes signature velvet loafers and spiked high-tops.
