In 1991, he launched his first boutique in Paris, with Princess Caroline of Monaco as his inaugural customer.
Now, 25 years later, the first ‘guest creator’ in the history of the Parisian cabaret club Le Crazy Horse is commemorating two and a half decades of the establishment.
Louboutin mentioned, ‘Crazy Horse is an iconic Paris monument, a monument to dance, a fantastic, modern idea of the celebration of women for women.’
He continued, ‘I am captivated by everything that uplifts and celebrates the female form.’
‘Given the nature of my work, I have concentrated on the lower half of the body for these numbers rather than the upper half. The language of legs can convey any and every emotion, and without revealing too much, the body transforms into the Flame.’
Andrée Deissenberg, managing director of Crazy Horse Paris Group, stated, ‘Christian Louboutin and Crazy Horse Paris embody Parisian life, existing beyond borders; they represent the realms of creativity, wonder, and modernity.’
‘Both draw from the same well of inspiration – women, of course, alongside the world that surrounds them – and both excel at crafting unique and surprising creations. This makes Christian Louboutin the ideal choice as our inaugural guest creator.’
Additionally, Louboutin plans to release a coffee table book that explores his iconic designs and inspirations, showcasing fans like Dita Von Teese, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
