From a very young age, Christian Louboutin loved drawing. When his love for drawing is also added to his unconditional passion for shoes, emerge the impressive creations that thousands of women dream of every day. Do not just create fancy shoes. Create desire. These dazzling luxury heels with that unmistakable red sole (a color that by the way, is patented), have become an icon and a benchmark in the world of fashion.
The designer, ended up making shoes for the Parisian music-hall. After the success of his creations he launched to design the shoes to freelance mode, to order. And finally, in the early 90’s he created his first boutique, which was not lost on the designers who wanted to have him to design collections for their brands, such as Chloé, Diane von Furstenberg, Jean Paul Gaultier or Givenchy .
The shops of Louboutin manage to invoice the year no more and no less than 4.9 million euros, being the heel of 16 cm the most sold. A strong brand that is backed with its red sole. And so he defends it with all his might. This is how it was seen, in court with the famous luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent for making use of the red color in the sole of its shoes. Finally Christian Loubotin won the trial, and only a few brands (among them YSL) can use the red sole only in case the shoe is full red. Without any color contrast.
Even though their customers do not seek comfort, they claim that as soon as they are worn they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. The cheapest designs of Louboutin do not fall below 3000 euros, without the labor or different materials that can be used.
His passion for shoes and his creativity, make his creations are the most novel. The design of his impossible shoes was a success and were auctioned for fund raising for the English National Ballet, which was going through a bad economic time.
All special customers have a shoe last with their foot size and all models are made from that mold. For example, one of the most influential celebrities of the moment such as Angelina Jolie, had the designer to create the shoes that would lead during the presentations of the film Maleficent.
And it is not the only one. Hundreds of celebrities such as Kyle Minogue, Kim Kardashian, Melania Trump, Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese, Jennifer Lopez, Sara Jessica Parker or Tamara Ecclestone are some of the lucky ones to wear the luxurious Louboutin, customized exclusively for them .

The Ralph Lauren Luxury Dress for Melania Trump
From entertainer to first lady. Melania Trump, the Slovenian model and wife of Donald Trump, has changed a lot of style. Unlike Michelle Obama, the first lady has a large photographic archive in which she shows the style that defines her, marking every era of her life.
One of her most commented luxury dress is the blue Ralph Lauren dress she wore on January 20, the day Barack Obama’s family evicted the White House and began to occupy Trump’s family. A dress with a look of the 60s that breaks with the usual style of the first lady, with no neckline and very elegant, which some have applauded and others have repudiated. And the social networks are burning: some applaud Ralph Lauren for dressing Melania. However, many others repudiate the concept that the fashion brand has worked for her. The truth is that Ralph Lauren has designed exclusive luxury dresses for first ladies like Hillary Clinton, regardless of the political tune of the brand. Even so, dressing the first lady has led the brand to lower its sales. Something similar happened to brands like Macy or Lord & Taylor, who dressed Donald Trump’s eldest daughter (Ivanka Trump) and also had to face several comments over the Internet.
As expected, after the dispute, Ralph Lauren’s blue dress has been the center of all sorts of criticism. The two most commented have been: resembling one of the scenes of the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), in which the fancy dress looks like the uniform of the Beauxbatons school. The second similarity that the audience has found is with the dress of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, that used for the investiture of her husband John F. Kennedy in 1961.
It should be noted that other designers have publicly announced that they will never wear the first lady, as is the case of Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs. However, others have announced that they would be delighted, as is the case of Tommy Hilfiger or Carolina Herrera.
Loving the glitter and marking her silhouette in tight luxury dresses, the wife of the President of the United States has left that style behind to continue to highlight its beauty in a more discreet and elegant.
She replaces the fur coats to wear coats of classic cut and also, the lover of the lace has decided to continue taking it but of another form. In the following photograph we see as in one of the fashion event she attended, bet on the cleavage on his chest pretending to go uncovered. However in one of the last dinners with the Catholic Church, she decides to wear the lace in a much more subtle, covering her arms of precious lace that made her shine.
After being a model, Melania began to get more and more into the business world, and that’s when she began to wear more discreet clothes and according to the environment in which she began to move.
