An extraordinary monograph created by Christian Louboutin, renowned for his beautifully crafted handmade shoes, in particular his elegantly sexy stilettos. This stunning volume, with a fanciful and intricate pop-up, an elaborate foldout cover, and dramatic still-life photography, evokes the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin's shoe designs.

Celebrated for his vertiginously high stilettos with their signature lacquer-red soles, Louboutin has achieved cult status with celebrities as well as fashionistas. His eclectic and exotic designs, often incorporating feathers, beads, and sequins, are a constant and dramatic presence on the red carpet and in nightclubs and restaurants the world over.

Louboutin's first book, this monograph highlights the extraordinary range of his couture, from his iconic and glamorous creations to his fetishistic pieces, including his collaborations with David Lynch, meant more for the bedroom than the street. New photography captures Louboutin's artistic sensibilities, while an in-depth interview reveals Louboutin's life, travels, and inspirations, presenting a very personal look at the man behind the shoes.

A work of art in itself, with a five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up, Christian Louboutin is an enticing and revelatory look at the most important luxury shoe designer of our day.
The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter covers Louboutin's biography, his start as a designer from his work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to his first boutique in 1992, and his early creations and influences illustrated with many never-seen-before photos from his personal archives; chapter two features the Louboutin boutiques around the world showcasing the varied and extravagant interior designs and displays; chapter three is "20 years of design" and highlights his shoe designs from over the years with all-new still-life photography, as well as editorial art; chapter four features the spectacular interiors of Louboutin's homes in Paris and Luxor, Egypt, and behind-the-scenes shots from his studios and workshops; chapter five focuses on his creative collaborations with David Lynch, of a series called "Fetish," of limited-edition shoes by Louboutin and limited-edition photos by Lynch; chapter six is a complete catalogue raisonne of his work, with photos of all 120 shoe designs.

Editorial Reviews

Review

-- "Louboutin's book will have you craving for another scarlet-soled pair in no time." ~Plastik

"A stunning volume, it features a 5-piece fold-out cover, a binding of pink faux-leather, a magical interior pop-up, as well as gilded pages. With five chapters—A Life; The Shoes; Fetish; The Places; and Twenty Years—this elegant monograph reveals the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin’s shoe designs, from his iconic stilettos to his fetishistic pieces and everything in between." ~FashionWindows.net

Oh my lord this book is gorgeous inside and out! And the gold edged pages are just spectacular! I did have a few pages that were stuck together like I read in some of the reviews. I very slowly pulled them apart and luckily they suffered no damage. The cover is a soft blush color--not pale pink. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spectacular coffee table book or just for someone who loves high heels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agreed, perfect book for any shoe enthusiast!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011

I own a business called Redo My Shoe which specializes in embellishing designer shoes with Swarovski crystals, mainly Louboutins. As you can imagine, I get burnt out on placing stones on the same style shoe. At the end of the day, a strassed shoe is the last thing I want to see. However, this book completely changed that. Despite seeing most of the shoes already online, somehow this book presents them as new. And it includes an almost complete overview of every retailed shoe produced since starting his line. The photographs are crystal clear and totally inspiring for shoe lovers and designers alike. I myself am both and this book has given me the much needed motivation required to continue on doing what I do. I highly recommend it for yourself or to give as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded My Expectations
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
Over the years, I have collected "table top" books that I feel reflect my personality and my individual style. I have books with varying topics from the history of Louis Vuitton, to Jonathan Green's Geechee/Gullah Art. The Christian Louboutin book, however is so "girlie" that I had to have a special place to display so that "I" could enjoy moreso than my guests. It is the perfect book for a wardrobe room or sewing room. I have not read it in its entirety and it will more than likely take me some time to do so, as it is detailed and picturesque. The "pop-up" is amazing. If you have any reservations about purchasing this book, dismiss them right away and order before it they are all gone. LOVING IT!!

Louboutins are my absolute favorite shoes, so I pre-ordered this book as soon as I found out about it. This book is so beautiful!! It is huge and has amazing pictures that showcase the shoes (and the red soles!) in such unique ways. It will be an excellent addition to my coffee table. I'm so glad I got it on Amazon, rather than paying $150. Also, they delivered the same day it was released! I'm super happy with it.

This book is perfect for a shoe lover or a Christian Louboutin fan. I love this book it is beautifully made. It looks like a beautiful leather-bound type cover. When closed the pages appear to be covered in gold and inside the pictures are vibrant!! It is a great addition to my living room coffee table books. The Beautiful pictures chronicles all the shoes & ads from Christian Louboutin. Excellent purchase!!

Don’t listen to the reviews complaining about pages stuck together. That’s only due to the material used on some pages and the edging of the book to make it glossy. Great book. Looks awesome on my table. The shiny copper sides go great with my interior.
