The man with the red soles moved to the center of France's footwear industry at age 14. He became an apprentice at the too fab Charles Jourdan's shoe factory. And thus, it started. There are very few names in the fashion industry that cause women to lose their minds but Christian Louboutin is one of them. His red soles are too die for. Here are some of my faves. All shoes available at Net-a-Porter.com or Barney's New York.
