Seeing red? Then they're Christian Louboutin!

Seeing red? Then they're Christian Louboutin. The heart (and soles) of the designer's every collection, Louboutin's love affair with rouge began in 1992 when he used a colleague's nail varnish to decorate a prototype of his Pensée heels. The rest is history. Now be it the Nudes collection, classic Kate pumps or aptly named Epic boots, all Louboutin shoes are united by their iconic flash of red.

For over 30 years, Christian Louboutin has been the go-to for footwear and accessories that channel fun and vitality, while still maintaining a sense of timeless elegance. Now, the iconic Maison turns its hand to catering for the entire family. In the case of LoubiFamily, the Christian Louboutin attitude is realised in miniature, just for the kids. Comic book heroes, tactile textures and bold colours become the stars of the show – but the brand’s identity is not lost in the quest for imaginative designs. Simply look to the sole to see the familiar flash of scarlet that cements these children’s shoes as an instant classic.

His shoes are instantly recognizable, innately covetable and fashion-industry famous. Lest you get caught up in the cachet, it should be noted that each accessory is very much the sum of its incredible parts. Set atop a stiletto heel with the brand's signature red sole, these 'Hot Chick' leather pumps feature a 'Starlight' pattern made up of shimmering crystals. Show off this statement style with midi hemlines.

Part of Christian Louboutin's Icons collection, the Hot Chick pumps are updated here with a patent leather finish. Sculpted with V-shaped notches to the ankles, they elegantly frame the foot in a way that lends an alluring finish. You can rest assured this pair will give you confidence like never before. Please note, Christian Louboutin's signature lacquered soles will wear out with use; this is normal wear and tear and is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. Please try these shoes on a carpeted surface, as any damage to the soles may prevent us from accepting returns.
