Fit For Royalty
Believe it or not, the first heel that Christian Louboutin designed was in fact, brace yourselves, a flat.
The now iconic "LOVE" flat is said to be inspired by the late Princess Diana, as Louboutin "always wanted her to have love on her feet".
“It was a flat shoe, the Love shoe”. Like the love birds that cannot be separated, I designed them. Only if you put the two shoes together, they are complete. I only sold those shoes in the first season and they were a huge success.” -Christian Louboutin
